| (injured) |
| I am logging myself as injured for the first time on AP, and I'm not quite sure what is going on. It seems I might have hurt myself worse than I thought last Sunday at the NC A-meet. I did twist my ankle that day and it took a little while to "shake it off", but I finished the race and I didn't really think about it after that. On Monday, however, I awoke to a swollen and painful ankle. I thought that not running for almost a week would have been enough and, indeed, it wasn't swollen and didn't hurt for this past week. Unfortunately, though, when I woke up this morning, it was swollen again and very painful...so much so that it was difficult to walk. I guess my little run yesterday aggravated it, but it's so weird that I didn't feel it all week, and then this rather drastic reaction to a short run. Guess I'll be doing cross-training this week and taking extra good care of the ankle. |

| My ankle stayed swollen all day and even began throbbing a bit at the end of the day...just for good measure. I opted for a session on the trainer this evening while watching "Grey's Anatomy" and everything was going fine until I went to clip out of my pedals. When I twisted my foot to get out, a shot of pain went through my ankle. I won't be doing that again! |

| Ok, no more slacking...time to get back in gear. And what a beautiful morning it was to get going. Cool, with bright sunshine and flowers blooming everywhere. Some early morning mowers added a wonderful smell of freshly cut grass. Just a short little run through the neighborhood to start the day out right. |

| Vacation is over, nomenclature is back to normal, balance between East and West is achieved once again. And Kissy is back in the basement, hitting the weights. Sigh. |
