I didn't know you were having ankle issues, glad it feels better and I hope that it is indeed the shoes.

Keep up the great running and say hi to the family for me.

Thanks Jeff. Not sure if my inner ankle is hurting from power walking in my MBT's or using not so good running shoes before buying my new pair last week. I had a chance to go to a running store and was the only one in there at that time so I had a lot of time to choose. The salesman even let me run around outside in each pair, very nice. I surprised myself by purchasing Nikes. ususally don't wear those do to being on the narrow side but I LOVE THEM! The store also offers group runs on Tues. & Thurs. evenings, I'd love to join them, but I'll see!

Have a wonderful weekend! Love RACHEL

Hope the ankle continues to improve and enjoy the new shoes. Try out some of the group runs, it is nice to run with others to keep you motivated.
