Earlier this week I twisted my ankle. Appearance-wise, the only issue is that I have a pretty bad scrape on my knee (my dad likened it to road rash that bikers get when they fall). Physically, my ankle has been sore for the past few days. It's been getting better everyday though. I found that walking on it actually made it feel better for a while. I didn't let it stop me from living life (heck I still wore boots with a pretty good heel on them), but it did stop me from running for the week.
Luckily, I was walking... A LOT. That got me a boost for the Holiday Booty Buster Challenge. In fact, with all the walking I was doing I actually had one of my best weeks when it comes to the amount of points I earned. Today, I got down to the gym at the hotel and got on the bike for a while. Ended up making my knee a bit sore (probably cause by the scrape and hitting it on my fall), but overall it felt good to sweat again. I also got some weights in there so I'm almost back to my normal routine.
My Christmas present to myself will be a day another day off of running followed by maybe a 1 or 2 miler. Something short just to start working on strengthening my ankle again.
