At work today I was walking down a ramp and at the bottom of the ramp was very slippery and I fell, and I fell very hard. The ridge of the ramp caught the back of my left leg and boy o boy that really hurt. I did not go to the doctor but my wife being a nurse looked at it and told me that I had bruised my bone. But I still wanted to run today and today was my long day of running so I started running and my leg was feeling ok, but the back of my heel the long skinny bone was hurting and it never went away like I was hoping for. So instead of running my 8:40 per mile; I ran 8:27 and the only reason is because I wanted to get it over with so I could rest my leg. Any suggestions to help me heal?

Rest, and maybe try an ice bath. I took an ice bath yesterday here in San Jose at the hotel and it felt so good.

I could use your help.. At work yesterday I was walking down a ramp and I hit a slippery spot and fell. It was a steel railing and when I fell I bruised my bone in my waist and in my ankle the bone behind the ankle. I had my wife look at it and she is the one who told me that it was a bruised bone and she is a RN. Now when I run my ankle or should I say the thin bone behind my ankle hurts. My question is what do I do for keeping in shape for running?

Barry - usually a non-running injury heals fairly fast on its own. You just ease off and be patient. Cross train (bike, elliptical) when you can if running through it is painful. Do not hurry or get too concerned. You will fall behind in your training, but then once you heal, you catch up very fast.
