OK, ok, ok. So your wondering, "What did she do, take off running and forget to come back?" Sorry I haven't Blah, Blah, Blogged in a few days. Things have been kind of busy around these parts.

I took another day off on Monday. Ran 5 miles last night at sunset and another 4 this morning about 7. This morning's run was GREAT! But it's SO difficult to run at night, after you've eaten, in the heat. + I twisted my ankle! What a BUMMER. The crazy thing is that it happened on some uneven concrete down town about a mile into our run, and when it happened, my running partner said, "Are you OK?" Well, I didn't even think anything about it. It didn't really hurt when I did it. Now this is the CRAZY part -- About 2 or 3 miles later my ankle started hurting and I remember commenting to my partner a couple of times, "Boy, my ankle hurts...what's up with that?" I didn't even put the two together. How crazy is that?!? It just hurt a little then but WoW, when I got out of the shower it was REALLY starting to hurt. It ached all night. I iced it 3 times and propped it up most of the night. It kept me awake a good portion of the night. This morning though, it felt fine. So, I wrapped it and went for a run promising myself only to run if it felt good. It was GREAT the whole run, no pain at all. But, when I got back it hurt to walk on it and it feels really, really tight -- go figure. I'll look for an ankle brace today and take some Aleve, again...

I'll probably do good at this rate just to get my 25-mile base in this week. Don't want to push anything with this ankle thing.
