not the best week for ankles

I started this past week off with an awesome 24 miler but as you might remember I tweeked my ankle over a pine cone. I guess that was foreshadowing for the rest of week. It's not uncommon for me to roll my left ankle but this week it just was too much. On Tuesday I did a 12 miler, all was going well until I ran over the only patch of ice on the entire street and bit it hard...again hurting the ankle and putting a nice hole in my knee and tights! I did aqua jog Monday and Wednesday so when I headed out Thursday everything felt pretty good until 29 minutes in when my foot landed between the asphalt and grass and another strain on the ankle. I hobbled home, so angered!!!! My fear though has been that the pain is now on the inside of my ankle and not just the outside. I've been icing, taking my aleve so we'll have to see. Thankfully it's not a horrible pain, it's more stiff than anything but still, not exactly how I want my ankles to feel!
50 road miles this week in 4 days
2 hours aqua jogging
Heading over to Boston tomorrow to do part of the course!!! I can't wait! Thankfully I will have had 48 hours of rest! It's going feel quite early as it's day light savings!!

37 DAYS TILL BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
