Let’s do this again, shall we?

From a partial rupture repair, to healing, to another rupture

9 months

I need to not compare myself with the people here that had ‘just’ the achilles ruptured. I’m dealing with a boat load of extra bone removal and it seems to me there is no timeline for that added injury.

Where am I at 9 months post-op?
Drving, 2 shoes, walking up stairs is easy downstairs a bit clunky.
I have not formally exercised in awhile and I know that would make a difference in my recovery but somehow my motivation is lacking.
I walked 4.9 miles today with my Team, on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 6.
I walked a 20 minute mile for 4 of those miles with a slower gal and when she went on for more I was on my own and walked a 17.1 mile!

I have been walking 30 minutes with a friend who had surgery and we’re going to continue to do that and I’m going to bike at the Y I’ve decided.
Getting back in shape is a bear but I do have a goal in mind.

Anyone up for a challenge?

I have the Nike and Apple chip and have started logging my mileage again.
I did 4.9 miles today, slow and steady wins the race.

Here is the link to my challenge on Nike, I set it low so it’s attainable.
I’m committing to 5 miles a week.
Join me!
