Went into the gym tonight, only did 15 mins on the bike, mainly because i was pretty bored on the bike!
So i did 45 mins of S&C in the gym, and some upperbody workouts too.

ankle still strapped up tight, not without pain but very manageable. Looking forward to getting the bandages off next wednesday!
I bought an ankle support with straps to wear when all this comes off!

Got into the Gym tonight, did about 25 mins on the bike, very easy nothing stressfull and all good, no drama's!

Then followed up with some S&C work with the Ball, plus some upperbody machine exercises. I did the exercises with a pal so it was bit more sociable!

Realised that my ball at home isn't blown fully inflated! The gym one is so much easier to use!

I didipretty much a full S&C plus the excersises that the physio had given me before heading out this morning. I thought i was ok, yes i still had that annoyance of the ankle, but when i set off it was horrible, it lasted about 5 mins and then went back the annoyance level.
There was a pretty hard headwind on the way out, but realisation is that i need to rest.
Yes the initial pain is reducing in length at the start but like i can't help thinking it's prolonging a recovery.
I think your right in that i should rest until the pain has gone, i'm going to relinquish my Tarpley place today, i'll probably defer Manchester, next weekend regretably!
