My journey from a marathon runner and triathlete, through two ankle reconstruction surgeries due to PTTD, all while earning a PhD in Exercise Physiology, and starting a career as a college professor...
Ever seen a flatter foot? This was the beginning of my PTTD surgery journey...

Day 98(238): 14/34 week update + PT Session #19
*Right: 14 week surgery anniversary*
*Left: 34 week surgery anniversary*
I woke up with unusually painful feet this morning. So painful that I took a 600 mg ibuprofen before work. I stayed off of them as much as possible while at work, in hopes that they would feel better for PT this afternoon.
PT Session #19
5 mins elliptical, bungee cord walks, step downs (3 x 15), trampoline ball throws while balancing on a foam pad (5 x 7 each foot), 4 cone touch (3 sets each foot), manual therapy (scars)
HW: work on scars, balancing on one foot, scar tissue on the bottom of my feet (roll feet over golf ball)
-------------------
When I got home, I did just over a mile walk downtown at an average of 2.8 mph. My speed is slowly increasing!
-------------------
Reflection
Painful feet today, however, t's not going to stop me from making progress.
