Injury Update

Last night I put the ankle on an accelerated recovery plan (at least mentally), and used the R.I.C.E. method! Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate. I fell asleep with the ace compression bandage on and woke up around 1AM with minor irritation. I removed the wrap, and fell back asleep. This morning I was able to walk without a limp which is good news I think...

I wasn't about to test the ankle at all and figured I'd give it another 48 hours of rest before I try to do any exercising. Coach K called last night just to check up on me and to hear how I was feeling. He doesn't think this will effect my training. I may have to scale back on workouts though the next week just to make sure I'm 100% in three weeks for IMLP. I still have some discomfort but I think as long as I stick to forward movement (and no sudden side strains) I feel I'll be healed very soon! We shall see.
