On Sunday, I took out my in-line skates and skated around the industrial complex near our house in Newtown, PA. This was the first time I had been on skates since January 24 when I broke my left fibula while officiating a hockey game. My left ankle was noticeably more swollen than usual that night, but I felt like I could skate again on Monday if I wanted.

Monday was mostly sunny and 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius), so I decided to get my Trek 1500 road bike out for a short ride late in the afternoon. I rode 6.9 miles in 31 minutes and 7 seconds. It was great to get out there and see that I haven't entirely lost the ability to ride, although I've lost a lot of stamina over the past nine weeks.
