I have been in Switzerland 3 months now, and it has been a year since my accident. I have barely climbed in this period, and the few times I have, the subsequent morning my ankle has protested loudly. Now however it is getting much better, and after running run 4-6 miles 2 to 3 days in a row, the ankle still feels good. I can see the flexibility is coming back.
One might ask as to why run if the ankle is messed up. There are 2 answers. First, it feels good. Second, my natural disposition is to become fat if I do no cardio, and biking seems just too complicated.
I have been hiking the local hills in the meanwhile - Bre, Boglia, Denti della vecchia. Sometimes I feel really desperate to get out to the high, snowy places, and with the quality of healing, I think it will happen soon. Healing is taking time, and it is teaching me a lot of humility.
Off to California for 10 days tomorrow, and there I will make a short trip to Malibu (probably Planet of Apes or Stumbling Blocks area).
