Sorry to hear that! I hope you're able to run through it. You're right though, there is always something.

Yikes! Ice ice ice ice ice..... Good luck!

What, you can't go to the cafeteria (or local fast-food) and get a cup of ice, put in a trash bag, take your shoes off at your desk, and enjoy the funny looks from your co-workers?

Active recovery, methinks.

The times I've twisted my ankle while running, I DEFINITELY noticed it right away... But I also found that I was in a lot less pain later (and healed quicker) when I ran on it as soon as I could tolerate. (The progression being stand, limp, walk, limp-jog, jog.) So another vote here for active recovery if you're able to tolerate it! Things seem to loosen up when you use them. MTA: thanks for the reminder, Trent.

Jeff, that sucks.. hopefully it is a short-lived injury, feeling any better after a day of rest?

ankle is doing better. It is still stiff (in fact, both of them are today), but i was able to keep moving around a bit this morning to keep it loose and got a 7 miler on the treadmill at lunch. It was kind of nice out and i thought about running outside, but didnt really want to risk turning it again today.

A 7 miler definitely qualifies as "active recovery." Hope it heals fast! D

Yeah, it still felt good all night, but this morning it hurts again. After walking around it feels better again but getting out of bed was quite painful (though for me it usually is anyway - for some reason I always hurt stepping out of bed). Going to go try a run this morning but I may cut it short a bit.
