Cycling with bum ankle

Hi all,

Well, I got out this morning to test the ankle--felt okay when I got out of bed, but not when I ran. I got out of my driveway and around the corner, and could not take it! It was painful. So, I decided to ride by bike for an hour, and that is what I did. My oldest son and I hit the road, and we had a great time. I just hate that my body does not feel like it does when I run--although my HRM says that I am working at 75-80%! My family and I are going to the pool this afternoon, and I will actually swim some laps for the purpose of training. That should feel good. Well, I never thought I would say this, but I miss running, and I feel badly for taking for granted that when my body was healthy, I didn't appreciate running like I do now. I guess it's true--you don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry!
