Day 3

Although the swelling and discoloration is still pretty bad, I'm actually pretty encouraged.  Pain is minimal and I'm walking pretty normally.  I'm also doing some aggressive rehab and maintaining most of the strength in my ankle and am working to loosen it up to restore range of motion.  Hope to be running on level ground soon (wish I hadn't broken my treadmill a couple of months ago).  I may just be able to run Cascade Crest after all...

LM warmup, 6.08 miles in 58:47, 9:40/mi, HR 148, foam roller, stretching.

Foot still swollen but regained a bunch of range of motion, especially laterally (inversion/eversion) today after getting it adjusted by the chiro yesterday.  That was quite the experience....he was tugging and pushing on my clown foot and I kept holding on waiting for the excruciating pain, but it was all good.  Evidently its a good idea to visit a chiro after a sprain, because when you roll your ankle, your calcaneous (heel) stays in place while the rest of the bones roll.  In any event, after the adjustment yesterday, the foot was definitely stiff and a bit on the sore side, but after getting it warmed up this am with the alternating hot/cold treatment and some massage, the range of motion was much improved.

Which led me to try a slow run today.  Since it was upper 70s and sunny, the slow part wasn't a problem.  The 3 day layoff helped keep things slow too.  Some pain, probably better classified as discomfort.  Back to the hot/cold treatment after the rolling and stretching.  Good thing I like shoes on the big side, otherwise my swollen foot wouldn't have fit.
