Well todays run did not turn out to be my best ever. We run alot on the SC Parkway trail, well its under construction for umpteenth time!!! so the the trail is blocked off at every intersection (driveway into subdivisions). We can usually go around but because it rained over the weekend it was really muddy so we went onto the sidewalk on the other side of the street,Which wasnt any better because its pretty much an obstacle course around signs and cones, so I hopped off the sidewalk into the gutter and then from the gutter to the road .Well there is drop that a i didnt realize was there. Both Cheri I stumbled but icaught it just right and rolled my ankle! ouch! We stopped for a minute and then walked for a minute and decided to try running, it actually felt ok but when we would have stop at the lights it hurt to walk and by the end of the run it was pretty sore. I hurried into my house and iced for 20 minutes. But its starting to swell. I will ice it as much as I can at work today and IB up but now I have one cankle!

I'm sorry about your rough run this morning. You'll have to ask Jay about cankles!!! I hope it heals quickly. Are you getting excited about your house? Only a week left - lucky you! How did your cleanse go??

Man I always do that to in fact I rolled my ankel a couple of months ago. I always do that. I always just run through it. Is is a medial or lateral (inside or outside sprain)? Mine is always lateral (outside). I just ice it and work out the swelling with massage. It hurts like a bugger but it works.

Andee,

I am so so excited! they will put the shutters in this week. Cleanse went well. Brock and Dusty did it too!

Josse,

Thanks I will take your advice. Its slightly outside lateral but really it feels more on the top of my foot. Hurts to flex or point ( and go side to side). What is hurting is I use a foot pedal all day to operate my instruments at work with my right foot. Im trying to use my left but I am not used to it. But I will ice it and massage. I usually find with myself I am better, like yourself, to run through little injuries. Hope you are doing well and getting back into the swing of things!

Shoot Marcie! I hope it gets better soon.

From Jody on Mon, Dec 10, 2007 at 11:28:45

I am so sorry!! I will let Jay know that you have a cankle! I am sure he will get a good laugh. I am really glad that you are not seriously hurt.

How did Brock survive the cleanse? How is the pulser?

From andee on Mon, Dec 10, 2007 at 15:57:03

So did you all convince Garrett to cleanse too? I had forgotten about the pulser - how was it? Matt and I will have to find out more about that over Christmas.

Jody-

Brock, I think, did pretty good on it. It got real hungry sat. night but it was pretty successful for him (thats what dusty told me). So far so good with the "zapper".

Andee-

I think he will do it, he was thinking this coming weekend but that wont work with our schedule but hopefully the next. We'll see though, I dont want to force him!

Man! You should've knocked on wood when you were telling me about the crappy construction on SC parkway! Hope your ankle is back to normal in a jiffy and that you don't trip anymore. :)
