I have another 1/2 in a couple of weeks. I'm getting a bit nervous about my low mileage & not being able to run them, yet. I was able to walk-gimp a couple of trail miles, today, with no brace. While the doctor gave the ok to run, the ligaments are still very sore! I got a few good "ouch" moments as I got full range of motion on a couple of missteps. I paid for a race & I plan to attend it-- but running may not be possible. Just ONCE I would like to do a race at 100% healthy. I don't know what that would feel like-- except complete elation...
