I originally started this blog with the intention of writing about "running." We all know where that went. I got off track a bit and began sharing a little too much of my personal life.
At the time, that is what I needed to write about. The act of sharing such intimate stuff opened up a whole new set of issues for me. It was time for a change.
I took a break from blogging for a while, and I re-evaluated my boundaries. When I returned from my sabbatical, I began writing about running again (and dog poop). I knew that eventually I would have to branch out to new topics, but these topics offered me a pretty safe place to start again.
My running even began to take off again. That’s a good thing! It’s been a long time since running and I have traveled in the same circles. I got a little stubborn and ran two days in a row in spite of my throat being sore and my head hurting. I even called it a "streak."
Well…
My running streak has now been replaced with a non-running streak. No big deal. These things happen, Right?
Wrong!
My foot/ankle began hurting while walking the dogs of all things. Because that is *so* strenuous. My ankle (the same one that I twisted in January) is also swollen tonight.
It sucks but there it is. Hence, *the title of this post.*
It could be a fluke. If it’s not, I might have to subject you to more stories about dog poop. Fortunately, I have enough stories to dirty up a backyard.
It’s just a thought, but you might want to say a couple of prayers for a speedy recovery — just in case.
Yea!! Juls is back!! Isn’t it the worst when an injury happens for reasons other than running? I feel your pain!
I’m not a very good prayer but I do what I can. I am very good at asking, “have you seen a doctor about that?”
Prayers proffered – fingers crossed.
Thanks for the prayers, finger crossing, karma (whatever). No doctor visit will be required at this time. I think that my shoe insert was off-kilter in my work shoe and, since I’ve been taking the dogs for longer walks, it created havoc in my foot and then the corresponding tendon. It seems to be on the mend (knock on wood).
