Weather was beautiful today.  Slow run..feel alittle out of shape.  Just glad to be running.  My ankle feels SO much better.  I don't think I had a stress reaction....tendonitis maybe?  Again....I use to think I knew a lot about running and am realizing I know nothing about running.

Today...just glad to be outside and shuffling along.

I'm so glad to hear you got to get out and run! Isn't it like discovering running for the first time again?! I really hope it wasn't a SF so you can keep on with the running. :) We'll make it!! We won't let these injuries get us down! And eventually we'll be back up to our previous race PR's. :) :)

PS - to answer your question about my recovery plan, I was able to run a little over a mile yesterday and then today. I'm just taking it slow because my foot is still sore the next day, but not as sore, so until that goes away, I'll just keep the miles low and then start with 3-5 miles every day and go from there. It's awful, but like you said, I'm just happy to be able to run a bit!

So, what are you thinking about Saturday? Are you still going to run it? Maybe run/walk? I'm glad you are recovering well and that it wasn't as bad as first projected!

Glider-I hope you get better soon. This injury stuff is horrible!

Rachel - I rolled my registration over till 2012. I'm not sure if I could make it :)
