Congrats, Alex, glad to hear that you are doing better. I remember you posting something about your injury when to first happened, so it is nice to see the progress.

Now please forgive me if I missed something, or if I come off as insensitive, but why running?

I did upper body lifting and lite cardio at the gym, after a few weeks i felt strong enough to do a lite run. I know that it may be too soon [ and it is too soon according to my Doc, but he did an extensive check on my ligament and found it almost healed 6 months ahead of schedule , it must be something the Jersey water.]

In college i broke my right foot 6 weeks before my College Cross Country state finals. My foot needed 3 to 4 months healing time but i asked my doctor if he could take off the cast in just 5 weeks, he did and i still came in 11th place for 2nd team All State honors. My foot was not 100 percent healed but it held up....So i guess i am a fast healer and god has blessed me with that.

For motivation, just think that there's a NOS Toggle at the end of the run.

Ran another 2 miles last night, no real soreness. This time i had more power and a fast step, seems like i am progressing ahead of schedule.

Glad to see you recovering quickly!!

That's really great news. It's remarkable you can accomplish a feat like that so soon.
Two miles is a long way!

Best to you.

I am biking this weekend.... here is my progress, i am 205 pounds, i think i will aim for 195 pounds as my set weight. I like carrying weight and this may seem ideal as i lose fat and gain muscle.

Alex; You make me smile, you make your surgeon smile and, most of all, you make YOU smile! Your progress and accomplishments are an inspiration to all.
