I had been so good about keeping up my activity level this week... until today. I found a new running buddy, and we met up on Tuesday and yesterday for jogs around the park and lake. We did 3.5 miles on Tuesday and about 2 miles yesterday because we got a late start. But after the yesterday's run, my right ankle started to really hurt! I had class in the morning, and as I drove there, my ankle kept cracking and it hurt to even push on the gas and brake pedals!

This is deja vu! The last time I started a running program, I got plantar fasciitis, lost several toe nails, and hurt my knees! This time, I have a new problem! Unfortunately, I don't know any doctors around here... not that I even know who to go look for!

I'm taking it easy today to let my ankle rest a bit, but I'm not going to let this stop me! Instead, I think this is a great reason to start swimming instead... or at least learning to swim!

So when life gives you lemons... make lemonade! =)
