Last night I went on a walk on the trails in the woods behind my house. They are really nice trails that go on and on. My friend had been away all summer so we had a lot of catching up to do. So we just kept walking and walking, at a fairly brisk pace too. By the time we got home, I looked at the clock and noticed we walked for a full 2 hours. We had to of walked at least 5 miles. I was shocked! Best part, my ankle felt great. I iced it for awhile after, but it felt so great.
I am amazed sometimes by this all. I keep meaning to post of picture of my scar. Its so swollen sometimes at night when I remember to take a shot, it makes me not want to capture that moment. One morning when it is nice and normal looking I will snap a shot of it. It looks great. Crazy that a couple of months ago it had staples holding it all together.
I am glad this is all behind me. I am also glad I really pushed myself those first few weeks after having the cast off. It really hurt, and was frustrating at times with how slow I had to walk. But it was worth it!
