As you may have read over on my regular blog, I have re-injured my ankle. How did this happen? Walking into the store on base. The parking lot has these round holes that have some sort of metal in them. My foot went in the hole, my ankle rolled, and that's that. It was feeling a little better by the next morning, so I attempted to walk around the local street fair with Mr. Husband. The street is torn apart for a construction project. Some brilliant mind thought it would be a "good idea" for people to experience the festival as they would have when it was started many moons ago... with gravel, dirt and sizeable potholes. Naturally we were walking slow and I was trying to be careful... but I didn't see a hole and rolled the ankle again. Its swollen, achy and screams at me if I put in a vertical position for any length of time. Today I have been camped out on the couch... too stubborn to drag my butt to the doctor despite saying last night I was going to.
No clue how long I'm going to be out of commission. Just because I can't get out there and run or climb stairs don't count me out. Pretty sure I can still manage to do free weights and core sets if nothing else. Hopefully I will be able to peddle a bike in a few days. Fingers crossed.
In light of the injury, this seems like a good time to add a new member to help us "reach Chicago-land." So as of today... the sassy blonde known as Donut Butt will be helping us add miles as we trek to Chicago. Yay! We are super excited to have her join us.
