6 months post ORIF

Ran 6 miles today, 6 months after my ORIF + syndesmosis repair for a trimal ankle fracture. Posting this because when I first broke my ankle, I had so much fear that I would never run again, or that I would lose all of my fitness/strength. My biggest recommendation is to GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY as soon as you are able!! I started PT before I was even weight bearing to work on mobility. I couldn’t even move my ankle the first time I tried. It truly does get better yall. ❤️
