I went to the foot Doc (AKA John Black) yesterday to have them x-ray my ankle, he's a great Doc by the way, there dose'nt seem to be any major breakage, althuogh there is one very small bone with some slight breakage. So all in all it's mostly a pretty good sprain. I will continue to keep it elavated and ice pack. The Doc said maybe this weekend I could test it out on a small run. This is driving me nuts to not be able to go for a run, I enjoy it so much. I should still be able do have enough training weeks ahead for SGM. I am looking forward to this weekend to test out my foot, until then I will do my best to just rest.

My ankle is still very unstable, the sweelling has gone down some but it is still pretty tender. I will keep iceing it and keeping it up, I really hope that on sat. I can test it out and hope it will be ok. So I'll keep my fingers crossed.

My ankle is still a little on the swollen side. So I will continue to ice it and keep it up. I am starting to walk more normal, so hopefully sat. morn. I can go for a run. I thought maybe I would do eliptical today, but there is still some soreness so I will continue to be patient and wait this sprain out. i don't want to try it to early and risk more injury. On sat. it will have been one week, so we will see then. Wish me luck.

It has been one week sense I turned my ankle, so this morn. I decided to go for an easy 5 miler and test it out. The first mile it felt pretty stiff, but by mile 2 it started to loosen up and really did'nt bother me to bad after that. It is more sore towards the inside of my left ankle but not to bad. Right now I am iceing it down there dos'nt seem to be any sweelling. My total time today was 50:53. I will not put down mile splits today. My plan for the coming week is to do easy runs and see how my ankle responds. Right now it feels like maybe about 75% there. Hopefully next sat. I can resume my 18 plus milers and get back into training for SGM.
