I'm so happy to read this post, Shelley! I am so, so, so familiar with the awkward "is this a good hurt or a bad hurt" feeling and I can definitely empathize there. I hope it starts to feel stronger soon & I'm glad to see Ricky Bobby back on the blog :)

Yay for running again. Small steps. You'll get there.
Walking those 3u miles will certainly help get you ready.
Have you been shopping for any new running clothes? ;)

Awesome news about your ankle...but if you come up with a post how you ignored a bad pain to keep running, I'll be very disappointed with you young lady!

Prayers for your ankle!

Yay for the green light! Be patient with yourself. I hope it progresses quickly for you.

2012-01-11T13:08:23.843-06:00

I think you're approaching this the right way - slow and steady. Take your time and you'll get there!

Ricky Bobby!! Glad to see he's back. I think it's totally normal for you to think about every ache and pain that comes from your ankle - but my guess is the more you walk, the better it will feel? and then you can start running more?

Have a great day!

SO glad you are able to start running. Give it time. It'll get better! I love that you take goofy statue pics. I've been known to do that myself.

I know the feeling. My problem was the other end of my body...my shoulder...after reconstructive surgery it took me a year and a half to get back to normal with alot of pain and anxiety about "was I doing damage" because I had pain doing certain things. Just hang in there...slow and steady wins the race!

2012-01-11T09:17:10.953-06:00

I bet lots of other runners have 'war stories' of being sidelined for a year or so with an injury. You are doing it just right-slow and steady wins the race!

Oh, and are you pre-medicating with ibuprofen before your walk? I bet it would help!

I know you want to go faster, but the time will co...

2012-01-11T09:15:09.310-06:00

I know you want to go faster, but the time will come when you'll run again - hang in there!

2012-01-11T09:10:35.215-06:00

Aw, what a great start to your comeback. I know how scared I've been coming off of super minor injuries. You have every right to be tentative and cautious.

A whole year? It's been that long? Yikes.

2012-01-11T07:25:30.687-06:00

Awwwww what a good looking walking group you have there! And don't you worry, you WILL be running soon enough and it won't hurt that speedster there with you to slow down once a week or so.

The photo of you and the Pres? Too funny!!

I sprained my ankle when I was a Jr in High School, and it took almost 4 years for it to be completely healed-- I kept injuring it, and each time it took longer to heal. I know it can be rather frustrating.
I hope you're able to get back to where you were before real soon!

2012-01-11T06:42:49.639-06:00

I hated that feeling when running again and I feel any ache and going wth is that? is it bad? what does this mean? blah blah blah. I was driving myself nuts and well still do!

I hope the pain goes away quickly!

Shelley, I can’t believe it’s almost a year ago since you’ve had your injury. Time sure does go fast.
I can understand that at the pain you’re afraid you’ve hurt it again. I’ve had an injury once at my calf and when I got the green light to exercise again, I was afraid too I would hurt it again.

You can’t imagine how happy I am with your photo’s this week. Shelley in running clothes, in running shoes, with Ricky Bobby (could you find him by the way). Girl you’re back on track, I know for sure!

And swimming and running? Only have to add biking and you’re read for a tri!

Great post, one that makes me happy.

LOVE your LOVE.
