RUN/WALK - 4 miles, 50 minutes (walk 7 minutes - run 3 minutes)

My ankle was a bit achy today, but felt great while I was walking/running. I'm not sure if the muscle is still weak (even after the bagillion exercises I've been doing) or if it is the stress fracture. 4 miles is the furthest I've gone in a long time. I'm not even sore from yesterday's ride. Hooray!

I was running today and wondering if my ankle might have a stress fracture or something weird with it. It made me think of you. I might need to get an x ray to find out what my deal is.

Not being sore is good! Means you are recovering well. :)

No soreness from your awesome ride?!? I'm with missy: you are strong and recovering well!!

I hope that ache is just from weak muscles. Take it easy, no more injuries superwoman! You're on your way back!

Great run. Still amazed with your ride yo!

Missy-When I went into the doctor for my stress fracture,he told me I might have a stress reaction (the starting of a fracture). My bone scan showed a fracture.

I would go to a orthopedic surgeon or a podtrist have an xray, bone scan or mri.Something official. They told me 8 weeks no impact (swim and bike only). But I am now at 8 months. HA!

Hope you feel better soon! I'm sure RAD has lots of good info too!

Hmm I need better insurance!

From Toby on Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 21:47:15 from 216.194.124.37

We have a high deductible insurance plan and have to pay our deductible first. Yikes....my stress fracture cost us a lot of money. Insurance companies suck!

From missy on Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 21:56:12 from 65.100.206.247

Eeee, yeah, I think our insurance is we pay the first $3000. Makes me ill. Could be worse tho!
