Ankle Update: I finally got in to see a specialist and had my ankle examined and x-rayed yesterday. Tore the ligaments on the inside and the "little ones" on the top. IDK the names. The one that ripped on the inside broke a piece of bone off with it right down at the bottom. So now I know. It doesn't change much as the injury happened 3 months ago. The Doc injected my ankle with some cortisone to help the pain and because I told him I was going to run the marathon regardless. So the plan is now to get through this Saturday and then see how it feels. There is a chance that with less activity down the road that it could heal without surgery. But I've been running on it pretty consistent since the accident and it's never had a chance to heal. So I guess we'll see what happens then. As for now I still need to run and get through this weekend. So I hit up the DC loop this morning with the injection and some KT tape. Basically the same effort as yesterday but today I hit a 6:50 avg and yesterday I was a 7:13. So hopefully I feel like this on Saturday and not like I did yesterday- there would be a big difference in finishing time and also just overall feel/ drama.
