Back to running

Well it has been a long winter. I have been waiting to get out and run outdoors but the stubborn winter will not let its grip go. I had major ankle surgery last September and even though I still have a lot of nerve sensation, I went for some small runs to test it out. So far not to bad but pretty sore for a couple of days after the runs. But now they are talking about 4 to 6 inches of snow here Wednesday, but hopefully it melts fast. Looking for some tips to help my ankle along and get rid of the nerve sensation.
