ARGH. If this actually becomes an injury I SWEAR—
Okay. So, I didn't go for a run at noon because I knew I had to send out my tax checks later today, so I figured I'd actually run to the post office. It's an exact two mile run. I hadn't run that far in months, so I took it nice and slow. It was also a little warmer than what I usually run in. I did all right, though, and I feel amazing.
So, you're probably wondering why I said the bad I-word up there. Well, my body feels amazing. My lungs feel amazing. I've got post workout after glow. It's my ankle that has an injury.
The exact two mile route goes by a couple of big, beautiful, architectural Catholic churches. On my way to the post office, firefighters were just arriving on scene to one of them engulfed in flames. :( On the way back (where the back had started to cave in, my designer self was almost in tears), they had finally roped everything off. I was forced to go through a patch of grass to go around the roped off area. Apparently the sprinklers had just gone off because the grass was soaking wet. I slipped and rolled my left ankle.
I stopped for a second and shook it, felt the tendons, bounced on it lightly a couple times. Your normal throbbing but it felt okay. Not painful. I am a master of rolling ankles (I have some really loose tendons), so I've done this before and I know when they're bad. I also know that when I roll my ankles the muscles really tighten up and that's half my pain. Deciding that it felt all right, I lowered my pace to almost a crawl and jogged the last two blocks to prevent the tightening up of the muscle. I stretched it out when I got back and took a shower.
Eugh, it's one of the worst rolls I've done. Heck, it might not even be just a roll; it could be a strain. It's throbbing and the muscles attached to the ankle that run all the way up your lower leg are painful, too. It's elevated, iced, and every 20 minutes I get up, rub it a little, stretch it, and then take a walk around the apartment. Like I said, the tighter it gets, the more it's gonna hurt.
If this still hurts in two days I'm going to cry. I'm just now getting back some endurance; I can't let this work go to waste!
Update: It hurts more as time passes...but it isn't swollen at all! It's actually one of the more painful ankle injuries I've ever had (and I've had a lot of ankle injuries). ARGH.
