Reached 500km for July (501.77 to be precise) - 16km or 10miles per day.  Significant milestone after starting at around 5km per week and 25-30km a month back in Jan!

Tips for ankle injury recovery I've learnt:
A) Take it slowly - don't push too hard, too fast. If it hurts, stop.
B) Train alone. Go at your pace, not that of others. Only go to club training when you're ready.
C) Have a regular training plan and log how much you're doing and when.
D) 20-25min of strengthening and stretching exercises, after every run. For me this has been:
1) 1x10min standing on one leg (alternating every min), with 10 heel raises on each leg during each min. Eyes closed if possible.
2) 3x30 heel raises, both legs. Start with foot flat, then push up onto your toes. Between each set, extensive stretching of the calf and leg muscles for around 2-3min.
3) 50 squats, plus stretching of thigh muscles
4) 50 situps (optional)
