Got Cleared to Run! Now What?

SO I had ankle surgery. 9 screws and 1 plate. Finally got cleared to run! My PA said that I would look goofy when I started to run ahhaha. I am not sure what means and honestly I haven’t even tried to run.

Does anyone have any tips for starting to run after having surgery on your ankle? What are some exercises you’d recommend I do?

For context: I did go to PT just to get me to the point of walking. So I do have ankle alphabets and sit to stands and stretches asked of me to do.

Is it necessary to go to PT to properly get more strength to run?

Thank you!
