Jan.19. Running in 2023 started out well enough, came off a year where I ran 11 races in 12 months and looking forward to working towards mileage and yardage goals for running, biking and swimming, respectively. Mid year things starting going in a different direction. Knee soreness started it, then my right ankle started giving me problems. In about August I woke to a very sore and swollen ankle.
Multiple doc and imaging appointments later diagnosed with a torn peroneal tendon. Same one I had torn in 2014. Due to various circumstances I was finally able to have surgery today. Now it's a recovery lasting well into the Spring before I can extend my years running streak to 66/51.
March 17, 66 years young today. As I stated in January, when I started this entry, this has not been the start I’d planned. The good news is after moving in earlier this year, mom has settled into Swiss Village with few issues and those have been addressed with positive outcomes.
My ankle is healing nicely, still some tightness and mild soreness, but I’m mobile again, with caution. Track season has started so I’ll be busy officiating for the next couple months. Just added a D2 college conference championship in Grand Junction, CO. Nice!
My other focus is getting back in shape. Swimming and indoor cycling are the main workouts. My ankle isn’t ready for long walks and definitely not ready for running. That is still months away, but my streak will not end this year!
