Cleared

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.
