PM - Suck Suck SUCK. My ankle really started acting up on this run so I cut it short at 2.56 miles and walked home. It's been bothering me lately but today had me worried about stress fractures, except a few hours later I could hop on the leg no problem, and the pain moves around from the shin to the side ankle to the calf, and usually goes away after 3-4 miles. Today I wore the Saucony Mirage again and that probably didn't help, though you'd think they should since they have more cushioning than the Merrells, those have to go back. I made an appointment at a foot and ankle place I have had my eye on for a while except I know they will recommend orthotics, they're all over their website. They can't see me until Monday. I guess I will rest, bike, stretch my calves like crazy, and ice like crazy until then. And in my depression eat peanut butter covered marshmallows, a new invention of mine that should make me millions.
