Update- 3 weeks into injury; starting to heal

Okay so 0mi running this week, 11 on the bike. Yesterday the leg started to feel as if it's actually doing something in the form of healing. I could walk without a limp today, more painful than before, but whatever I did to it to make it function in a way that I couldn't walk without limping on the ankle, it's healed.  I still feel pain when I press on the fibula firmly, but I think the pain should be gone within a few days and maybe I can start some real light jogging by the middle of the week, and get back to running next week? I'd like to be able to run in the SWCL meet on Wednesday and let that be my last HS race but if the leg isn't ready then theres no way I'll compete.

Tough way to go out; hurt myself the first meet in two subpar races, run slow with an injury in the heat the 2nd meet, then run taped and limping a slow mile in the 3rd meet after 8 days off.... not the way I saw the season going but nothing I can do about that now.

I'm really hoping that I can be at least jogging by the end of next week. After training mostly every day for months, 3 weeks off seems like an endless eternity. However, I feel that this has made me appreciate and love being able to run even more. I dont think I'll ever not want to go out for a run again, and if I do, all I'll need to get me out the door is the huge empty gap in my log where I wasn't able to run and would've done anything to be able to. If I'm able to run, I will, and I'll enjoy it.
