I saw the doctor on Tuesday & we agreed it was time to start running! I had spent 3 weeks on the sidelines with a sprained ankle. During the time, I got on my road bike 4 - 5 days a week. Some of my rides were really enjoyable, but overall it was tough to motivate. It just take longer to workout, there's a equipment to deal with, and on top of that work has been busy - meaning a lot of 6am to 5pm days.
The ankle is feeling almost 100% now after PT, icing, anti-inflams, etc... I've run 3 times so for this week, and now the problem is getting my butt back in shape in time for the Dipsea. I have a couple races in May, so I'll try the race my way back in shape strategy. Mentally I just need to stay motivated and not let myself get frustrated that I've lost a lot of the fitness I built up year to date.
