One hop forward

Today I made real progress on the healing process of the "impending" distal fibular stress fracture. The orthopod told me there were two tests before I could try to run again.

1. Stand on tiptoes without pain
2. The three-hop test

Yesterday, I could stand on my tip toes with no pain. In fact, I walked a few steps on my tiptoes. And today, I tried one of the three hops -- and no pain. Since it's only been 10 days since I saw the doc and he said four weeks with no running, I'm going to take it slow. I'll try more hops tomorrow and then if all goes well, try a 1 mile run on Monday.
