Just over 3 months to the hamster wheel sounds like you have done very well. Its hard to rest and wait, but patience has always been my Achilles heel. I freaked when I saw what my calf had shrunk to in just one week. Best of luck on your journey back. Maybe we will pass each other for 1st and 2nd place in a distant NYC marathon :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18151762170904131400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619091800763218088.post-39532883281449056222012-04-21T18:00:42.910-07:002012-04-21T18:00:42.910-07:00Hi Ryan - just saw your blog listing on the RW for...Hi Ryan - just saw your blog listing on the RW forum. I had the same surgery and also a 3 cm tear on Jan 13 this year. They ended up not casting me, which was great. I was allowed to run 1 minute on the treadmill on Thursday (week 14 post-op). Now that the worst is behind me it's easy to say "it wasn't that bad" - but I definitely had some low points. Love that you have the pics of the surgery, too - my doc was awesome and sent them to me. Keep your spirits up!

Although Shannon is amazing for finishing U100, I still think your barefoot 5k is the bees knees. I am hoping to transition when I can start back up.

It's a bad idea for me to put races on the schedule when I'm broken. The best way to hurt myself is trying to come back too soon. After a painful year, I realized the first goal should always be to get healthy. <br />Get healthy my friend!achttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177599337836349850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619091800763218088.post-87593812760164609412012-04-08T07:02:36.774-07:002012-04-08T07:02:36.774-07:00On the bright side you can now reset your PR sheet...On the bright side you can now reset your PR sheet.

A few months after I started my blog extolling the benefits of running barefoot, I gave myself a foot injury that kept me on the couch for weeks, and away from running for months. Man, that was embarrassing. <br /><br />Oh, and thanks for the pics.

Well, I guess you will be joining me in the post-leg-surgery running club (the PLSRC is a super elite club, so be proud!). On the bright side, you do get some cool scars. And since you like to get ink, start thinking about creative ways to highlight them. I have some ideas we can discuss over (low carb) beers while we watch Gilligan's Island re-runs. Drop me a line once you have recovered from the knife a bit. <br /><br />Oh, and sorry about the blogging curse. You'll need to convince someone else to start blogging so you can pass it on.derscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562035275775508430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619091800763218088.post-30574218712247809972012-04-07T21:30:17.412-07:002012-04-07T21:30:17.412-07:00Ouch, sorry Ryan.
