I'm getting a kayak from a good friend and high school coach of mine! I'll
be able to get my heart rate up. Hope I can double pole in two weeks, as
long as i dont move my ankle side-ways. I might be able to skate in 4
weeks...i hope. I'm not sure when the running will start...maybe not till
next spring, oh well, i like skiing a heck of a lot more than running.
Another good friend is giving me some bungy straps the russians use for ski
specific arm training. Hope I dont lose too much in the next month or two.
Thanks to everyone for the advise.

Has anyone fractured their ankle(lower fibula) while running? Becasue I
did yesterday afternoon while on a 2 hr run; had to limp almost 3 miles
back to my car. The doc down at the UofM says I'll be out for 4 to 6
weeks. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this type of injury and
what affect it had on their ski season, and how long it took until
rollerskiing or running was possible. I would greatly appreciate any
advice on how to try an salvage any aerobic capacity. I will be doing
strenght stuff, but im in a walking cast and cant even swim, becasuse they
want my foot positioned a certain way. Hope I dont gain weight, I've beed
training 9 to 13 hrs a week, and I eat like a horse. Anybody got any meds
that heal bones?haha.
