That was fun...did just over 11 miles at EASY pace. Pedaling felt better than walking, so I will be riding as much as possible as I recuperate. Tonite I had those plastic half-clips and an old pair of running shoes, but I already had DH put my SPDs back on and will be going back to wearing my road shoes, since I found it was actually harder to get going with the platforms and felt I was more at risk of a fall with those. And it really doesn't take THAT much twisting motion to disengage my pedals, anyhow. I already keep them at the lowest resistance.

SO glad that it looks like biking will be fine for me. I already miss running, but I love biking, too, so it's not really a loss. I will hopefully not even lose a huge amount of fitness.

The only downside...wow, my left calf/ankle area is so weak. I had 0 pain while riding, just noticeable weakness compared to my right side.
