    I've been having ankle issues after a crash down J-Drop with my singlespeed almost five months ago. After an X-Ray and MRI, I was diagnosed with a partially torn posterior tibial tendon in my right ankle. I finally faced reality today and was fitted for an air cast/walking boot. So, it looks as if I'll be out of action for at least 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how/or if it heals. Of course, now that I have a few months off from work, I get put in a cast :mad: At least, I was able to take a few runs yesterday with the SSDH crew! :bang:
