After keeping it wrapped, elevated, and occasionally iced since the run yesterday, my ankle does seem to be significantly better today, although still sore.
I decided to go ahead and do yoga today, even though my ankle isn't 100%. I stuck with the Lord of the Fishes workout, which isn't [too] hard on the legs. I did the workout with my ankle wrapped and tried to keep the pressure off as much as possible.
It was important to me to get the workout in today since I haven't done yoga since Friday, and I wanted to send Year 32 out on a good, bendy note. Plus, regular yoga practice is helping me keep my ankle elevated above my heart..
My "sponsor" sent me some herbal oils and treatments for my birthday. I'm already addicted to the eucalyptus and mint oil, "It's All Good." It promises relief from sore muscles, bad moods, and awfulness, amongst other things! I love the idea of herbal remedies so much, but haven't had enough experience to get them on my own. (Hmm, see how that circle doesn't end?) Anyway, I've been massaging it into my ankle and it feels wonderful.
Hopefully I will be up to a 13 minute run tomorrow. Friday, I once again am headed to Columbia and would love to trek the 10K route. I'm not sure I can do 13 minutes, then 6 miles on this ankle, though. We'll see what happens tomorrow, besides me turning another year older..
