Life has left me unable to workout yesterday because I was moving furniture and tonight because I got an injection in my ankle and needed to stay off of it.

The ankle is healing, slowly and surely.  The podiatrist calls it a mild case of tendonitis.  I received another herbal injection tonight that is supposed to help the body heal itself.  

The doc recommends I stay away from no-heel shoes for a while since that seems to cause the tendon to elongate and hurt more.  So - I will avoid my vibram five-fingers and other flat shoes in the meantime.

Down in St. George with my sister to volunteer at the Ironman.

In the evening I ran about 3 miles total.  Ran from our hotel down to the finish area and checked out where we would work in transition.

Spent a fun, but exhausting day volunteering at the Ironman. We had to be up at 3:00 a.m. and didn't finish volunteering until 5:45 p.m.  Writeup is in my other blog at http://adventures-in-running-with-maurine.blogspot.com/2010/05/st-george-ironman-2010.html.
