finally reached the magical "12 week" mark.   As before I am ahead of schedule.  Gym 3x a week, light martial arts training, vitamins / supplements, and the BFST ankle wrap have worked wonders.  I decided to try running today.  Hesitant at first, started with a slow jog, but I was able to run for a short distance, maybe 1/8 mile.  I do feel some discomfort (wont call it pain) with each step when jogging but its more of a nuisance than a pain.  I am concentrating heavily on rebuilding the calf muscle in the left leg.  I think when my leg muscle recovers, I should be able to run with much less discomfort.  I am still hesitant to make any long jumps, jump off a chair or even try sprinting.  No quick explosive movement for me yet.

I even took my motorcycle out today!!!!!!

I do everything I did before I got injured, just a bit slower still and with caution as I know I am not out of the woods yet.  For people that just ruptured it, or people recovering, HANG IN THERE.  I started to notice major improvement at week 4  ( I was just about FWB then)  From weeks 4-10 I noticed weekly improvements. After 10 weeks, I noticed improvements in ROM and less limping on a daily basis.

I think I still limp, but people that don’t know me or have never seen me cant detect any limping.
