All indications point towards the fact that I have ankle tendonitis. I am following the R.I.C.E treatment and taking medication to relieve the pain and swelling.
This is complete bullshit and I am not happy about this. I want to get back out there and run my tail off but it looks like I need to give my ankle a real break, before it DOES break, and take it easy before I start my exercise routine again.
I have to admit that this is really my fault. I felt the pain but ignored it. I may be adorable but obviously I am not the brightest star in the sky. I continued to run even when my ankle was hurting and ran until I couldn't stand the pain anymore. What any smart person would have done is realize that something was wrong and to take a day off, or two, to let my ankle rest so that I wouldn't end up like this. This could have easily been taken care of it I didn't disregard my pain and actually pay attention to what my body was telling me. Our bodies know more about us than we do.
This will never happen again.
