It has been 4 days since spraining my ankle, and I would say I am about 50% recovered.  I have been able to lift weights on Tuesday and today (Thursday), on Wednesday, I rode the exercise bike for 4 miles.  Walking is still sore, and my ankle is very tender.  We are planning on going snowboarding on Saturday, so I might get a brace or tape it up and hope it feels good.  However, Jake (our oldest) got home from school today and has a fever of 100.2, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.  Most every time we have plans of some sort, one of our kids usually ends up getting sick and our plans change in one way or another.  I actually think I am getting conditioned to not make plans because there is always a good chance they will not work out as planned.
