BIKE COMMUTE: 9.5 miles today and yesterday!
YAY! I've been doing trainer rides indoors, slowly building up the time and the leg felt better. The first ride last week left me concerned, but oddly it seemed to improve quickly after that. I'd like to say riding helped. Maybe it did?! I can stand on the pedals but doing so causes a stiff-tightness feeling up the front of the shin. Same climbing stairs. Otherwise, no other symptoms, aside from a minor and infrequent ache over the fracture site.
I'm back to climbing stairs 90% normally, still tending to keep my heel up instead of putting my foot all the way down. I was able to get compression socks on and that is way more comfy than regular socks, as they lack the band the ankle. I tried regular ones this morning and didn't like it yet. I'm also still KT'd, is that helping? I dunno.
So happily getting back to normal. Sunday night while thinking on the full moon I meditated on the race, the last 10 miles and the struggle there. And for a brief moment, I wanted to run another 100 next spring. Just incubate on that for now.
