Sore

The body and leg turn over felt good today, but my ankle was sore during my 8 mile treadmill effort at a 6:40 pace. I know I need to take a day or two off, ice it and stretch it, but at this point I don't have the time to take off. What I thought was a little twist may still be that, but I can physically see the swelling and bruising. It's one of those things that I'm gambling on running on it, hoping I don't hurt it anymore. Maybe it's a good thing that I'll be on the treadmill for the rest of the week; less pounding and no chance of slipping on the ice. It's one of those things that after a few minutes I don't feel the pain, but afterwards it's tender to the touch (I know, I know - - - don't touch it then).

So the ice, Advil, stretching and rubbing continues.
