Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

I went to the doctor today because I still cannot walk right or run. The x-rays did not show anything.  He is able to elicit the pain with palpation and told me I had some tendinitis around my lateral malleolus.  He recommends lots of motrin, and RICE and to let pain be my guide as far as running again.  He said if I am good and stay off it for a week I may be able to run a little bit within a week.  I think as soon as I can walk without limping I will be going for a run!  Anyways I am relieved that it all sounds very  minor.  This week I will rest it as much as I can and keep using the elliptical machine at least 45 minutes a day to "maintain."  That elliptical machine is just evil!  I find it feels much easier to run.  45 minutes on that machine feels much more torturous than a 45 minute "comfortably" hard run.  I tried a stationary bicycle for a few minutes but it hurts my bottom to sit on the seat and it didn't seem to be doing much in the way of getting my heart rate up.

*Sorry I fell off the face of the earth for 2 1/2 weeks (although I have been running alittle). Your the first blog I popped on and @#!!!WHAT HAPPENED???@#$. I'm going have to catch up on my reading. Glad doctor says you're okay. I'll backtrack to find out details leading up to your visit. And you are right ELIPTICALS ARE EVIL!! 15 minutes feels like torture....umm sorry....have fun, it's all in your head ;)
