Running after ACL Surger

I am 14 weeks post ACL surgery. I had a complete tear with no other problems. I have followed a strict PT schedule for 12 wks that included swimming, biking, and eliptical. I started running 12wks post op currently up to 25 slow minutes on the treadmill. At what point can I take my running outside and when can I change from "running for therapy" to "running for fitness"? I don't want to go up too quickly; at the same time I want to push myself to get back to where I used to be. Which was about 3x a week with a long run around 10 miles. Thanks for any advice!

Re: Running after ACL Surger
Does your PT have a "transition" plan for running?
