AND ... I went to my physical therapist today and he, like, worked a miracle or something. Long story, but anyway, I'm running again!!!<br /><br />Darren - I hear you, actually. It's the only reason I haven't totally freaked out - it's happened before and I've come through it okay. Positive thinking, yes!!<br /><br />Dave - Thanks! The ankle is my nemesis.<br /><br />Dude - Sorry to hear that, but I hope R2R2R was worth it. I'd love to hear about it.

I think this is a sign of good things to come (positive thinking!).<br /><br />DarrenDarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653881749845270757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-17047998692658017682010-06-09T01:42:07.053-07:002010-06-09T01:42:07.053-07:00I guess that's one way to live vicariously thr...I guess that's one way to live vicariously through a 10-year-old's tantrums!

I'm...Aww, thanks for all the sympathy everyone! I'm a believer that it helps heal soft tissue injuries. :)<br /><br />Olga - Thanks for the foot stomping. :) I would totally be stomping my feet right now while no one is looking, but I think it would hurt my ankle.<br /><br />Donald - I'm sorry to hear you're wallowing, but sometimes a good wallow is what we need before we can jump back into the fire. Uh, I mean, into the game. Meanwhile, we're in good company.<br /><br />Thanks Paige. I think the "all-in misery" technique works for me. And I probably could have replaced "hitched a ride" with "approached a nice, older couple and their dog and begged a ride" but you know, "hitched" conveyed my desperation better. A tiny bit of embellishing is allowed for the sake of good storytelling (just so you know). <br /><br />Stac - Well, it's life, right? : J Don't worry about me though. You set the example for how to handle this kind of thing with grace. I set the example for drama. <br /><br />Pam - Thank you. I think biking will be fun, for real. Unfortunately today was still too soon for the bike, and tomorrow looks to be a bit chilly. (I'm totally a fair-weather biker.) But there will be some biking very soon. Gardening is also good cross-training.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-45357037262441443322010-06-08T16:36:36.739-07:002010-06-08T16:36:36.739-07:00Erk.

Having just come off an almost-year-long tendon issue, I so completely feel for you. But biking can be fun. I have been biking quite a bit lately, especially with the longer daylight hours. Zoom, zoom zoom! Fast, fast, fast!!!! Fun!

But, I'm sure you know this stuff already.<br /><br />It's always interesting to read about others' injuries and the "mental tumble" (as Meghan put it so perfectly) that happens. It's so true, and no matter how tough we are, or how often we've experienced something, we somehow never manage to handle it any better. It sucks and I totally feel your pain. I like your style, of going all in with the misery and getting it out at once. Who cares if it's melodramatic!<br /><br />I think I was only slightly more shocked by the fact that you hitched a ride...that totally freaks me out! :)<br /><br />Here's to a speedy recovery and a little bit of a run this weekend, for you and Cap both :)Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936117159619262436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-5012601179318468732010-06-08T09:32:04.187-07:002010-06-08T09:32:04.187-07:00Ugh.

As usual, though, your descriptions here spoke to me on several different levels, especially as I've been wallowing in my own pity as well lately. So ... thanks for that, I guess. Misery loves company.<br /><br />I'll keep fingers and toes crossed for a quick recovery for you.

I think it's working!
Jamie - B...Thanks, Turi. I think it's working!<br /><br />Jamie - Better. I hate to get my hopes up about running this weekend, but, they're up. Actually looking forward to a bike ride today though.<br /><br />Meghan - Yup. The ankle is the new achilles. This injury never seems to get shocking swelling, just very localized, but it is painful to put weight on. Predictably, I'm now feeling some funky things on my left side due to favoring the right. Ugh! BUT ... still feeling hopeful.

Big, purple, painful to put weight on? Yuck, yuck. What's worse, though, is the mental tumble that incidents like this can take us into, unless we find the silver lining on the other side.<br /><br />I hope Cap is also recovering, too.<br /><br />Hugs!<br />MeghanMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994831420729922386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-87660105703448204472010-06-08T06:59:57.887-07:002010-06-08T06:59:57.887-07:00Ooops, I am not anonymous, it's Jamie:)Ooops, I am not anonymous, it's Jamie:)Jamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-28920369990204214732010-06-08T06:58:54.846-07:002010-06-08T06:58:54.846-07:00How's the ankle doing?How's the ankle doing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-80061497136149330672010-06-08T06:29:12.194-07:002010-06-08T06:29:12.194-07:00Ooh, sorry, Gretchen.
