It has been about 5 months since my surgery and last run. I had surgery on January 2, 2008 and last ran on December 31, 2007. I hope to get the green light to run again at my next doctor appointment on May 27th.
For the last 2 months, I have been biking between 40 and 70 miles per week. It's almost as addicting as running. I picked up a used 2006 Felt F90, which was Felt's entry-level road bike in that year, for a reasonable price on eBay. At the time, I just wanted a decent bike. Now I want a better bike. I have also been playing a lot of basketball and working on ankle strength and stability, in addition to core strength. I'm ready to run.
Where'd everyone go?

Still here ... can't wait 'til I get to post my first running-after-not-running blog. My last run was around Valentine's Day and now baby is due in 26 days. I anticipate needing a couple more weeks before I can ease back into running ...
Glad you've been enjoying the cycling. When are you going to do a triathlon?
I'll do a sprint triathlon this summer. I just need to work on my swimming. My running will come around quickly, I hope, and I'm already pretty strong on the bike.
I got the green light from my doctor this morning to start running again. I'm 5 months post-op. He wants to take out the implant at between 6 and 9 months post-op, when the strength of the ligament should be 100%.
