Closing in On Six Months
September 30, 2008 by jonas
Well, hope everyone is well. I had my last post op appointment last Friday. Doc said that everything looked great. I did a couple single heel raises for her and she was very pleased. So pleased that she told me that I didn’t have to come back there. That was very good news. Before the appointment I took my bike to an area called Shelby Farms and rode trails for about an hour-and-a-half and felt great after.
I went for my first jog yesterday. Since it was my first time back out on the street, I took it easy covering one and half miles by intervals of 100 yds walk, 100 yds jog. Seemed to be okay though I felt some fatigue in my right calf towards the end. I stretched it really good and called it a day. Today it was a little sore, but should be good to go back out tomrrow.
I am still having some pain in the bottom of my heel when I get up in the morning. Usually wears off after a few steps. Has anyone else had this issue? Anyway, the doc did tell me to be patient, as this injury takes a year to fully resolve.

Good job, Jonas. I bet that jog felt really good. I can’t wait.
