Just one more week to go in my cast and then Physical Therapy begins. I'll find out more next week about how long my therapy will last but I am assuming it will be about 2 months. It seems like the swelling in my foot is down considerably so I am encouraged that the healing process is progressing along well. I really want to wiggle my toes but want to wait until I see the doctor – don't want to take any chances of jeopardizing my recovery.
I can't tell you how frustrating this whole experience has been for me, especially with all of the beautiful Fall weather we've been having. I want to be outside now but continue to remind myself it won't be too much longer! It's still too early for me to plan my next run. I should have a better idea once my therapy begins and I start seeing progress. There will be the 2011 Broad Street Run in May but I would really like to think that I should be able to run a half-marathon in either March or April.
In the meantime, GO PHILLIES!
Good luck, John, with your recovery! We’re looking forward to seeing a fully healed you taking off down Broad Street in May. If you would like to connect with other runners, be sure to "like" the Blue Cross Broad Street Run page at www.facebook.com/ibxrun10 or follow the run on Twitter @ibxrun10.
