I'm back in the saddle again!

Well, the reason for no posts the past almost 2 weeks...I sprained my right ankle/achilles wakeboarding in Lake Powell:( I was feeling so dang good dangit! I keep thinking it is feeling good and then it starts killing by the end of the day and I wake up in the morning in pain. If it is not feeling significantly better by Thursday, I think I may contact the doc:( I haven't gone to the doc cuz I just figure it'll take time but it feels so tight and sore along my achilles. Ahhh, such is life, right?

Thought the ankle would be feeling decent enough to try running this morning but no...woke up with a lot of pain back around the achilles. I will give it another few days and then maybe I ought to go see a doctor:(

Well, the ankle/achilles started feeling pretty good the end of last week so I decided to give it a few more days and start today and see how things felt.

My 15 year old had to be to Riverton High for his first day of HS football (SOO EXCITED, I LOVE FOOTBALL), anyway, I decided to run on the track so if the foot hurt, I could be done if bad enough. It felt fine the first mile but he 2nd it started to ache a little bit and then my left calf tightened (probably from compensation) but by the end, everything loosened up and started to feel a ton better...I'm sure it will hurt later.

It felt fantastic to be back out again!

I did 6 sets of lunges up the bleachers, 2 sets of jump squats, 3 sets of calf raises, stretched good and that's it:) Have a nice day:)

So, went to the track again this morning and had taken a couple Ibuprofen before hand because the ankle was a little sore yesterday and this morning but I figured it was just cuz I hadn't run in a few weeks and it was wiggling things around. First lap I felt a sharp pain right in front of my ankle and considered stopping but thought I'd give it a little bit since I was up and there. By the 2nd-3rd lap, it started mellowing out. I thought that it had loosened up and the IB had started helping. Ran comfortable and felt really good but when I finished up, the ankle REALLY started aching:( I have put it off long enough so decided I would stop at InstaCare on my way home. Whelp...I have a pretty good chunk of bone broken off of my ankle. The doc said it has started healing pretty decently but said it needs another 3 weeks or so before I start running or anything else:( Just my luck dangit!!! I'm trying to see positive in this but...is there anything positive about a broken bone? Oh well, such is life...I guess I will have to sit on my can and heal up.
