Cool addition of the word processing tools, thanks Sasha.

I met up with the group at 6am to run the Radda route.  About 3 miles into the run, Aimee Larkin and I started a series of 2-3 minute fartlek-style surges at between 5:55 and 6:10 pace.  These felt decent.  My left foot is still sore, I have no idea what is going on there.  Ignoring it doesn't seem to be helping.  The pain is no worse; just still very present.  Iced again when I got home.

I have also often gone with the ignore it program of injury recovery and it hasn't worked out too well for me yet!

It's really more my ankle. The pain is on the medial side. I have a tender spot that may be at the anterior talofibular ligament from the pictures I 've looked at. I'm thinking it may be a sprain, but I don't remember anything acute and that usually happens to the lateral side. I also don't have any real swelling. The pain feels on top of the bone, but I think the ligament covers it at that point. Something could have happened when I was out wasting energy skate skiing, I suppose. It doesn't really hurt when I run, which is good, but running isn't helping it either. I'll just keep watching it.

Actually, now that you've mentioned skiing, I remember getting something similar after I skied in Russia. Probably nothing to worry about. For me it went away after a day or two. Eventually your ligaments get tougher and handle skiing better.
