Total Distance
10.60

Ran the middle B-hills loop and extended through LV at the end. It was totally fugly. No watch but I'm sure it was slow. Ankle has been relentless for over a week. I'm actually sick of it and am trying to line up a x-ray to at least see if the bones are broken. Right now the appointment isn't until next Tuesday....

Labored through the run and for the first time was contemplating not running the marathon next week. The closer I get to the race the more jacked up I feel. I did go to April's last night and she said I was really knotted up- so hopefully in a day or so I'll feel the positive effects for her work. 

I can' t remember ever feeling this helpless physically and as a result it's frying me emotionally- I think I'm actually loosing my mind.

30 min's tonight on the elliptical. Just trying to keep some fitness.

Sounds like my ankle issue. I'm swapping into hiking for a while. A PT told me a big part of ankle recovery is balance. Wrap up the ankle for runs so your brain gets tactile feedback about ankle position and do activities that require balance. Focusing on nerve damage recovery speeds up overall recovery

Thanks Steve that's some good advice. I'll start trying it.
