Rain, Rain Go Away

It seems as if everyday since Saturday it has either rained or been overcast here.  The rain was refreshing at first; now I'm ready for it to be gone.  I think we are stuck with it through tomorrow and next week's extended forecast doesn't look too promising either.  

The plan was to run an easy 4-5 tonight but I think that may be scratched thanks to the lovely weather.  I could use the treadmill however my ankle could use the rest from running as I think I may have aggravated it more yesterday during my hillwork on the grassy knoll.  Yes there is actually only 1 (manmade) hill wedged in between multiple soccer fields.  I think a lot of the kids thought I was crazy running up and down it.  So maybe it would be good to complete some cross-training since I haven't managed to find time over that past month to do anything other than run.  I'm hoping the elliptical is nice to the ankle than pounding the pavement or 'mill.

Hope taking it easy for a day will make your ankle feel better.

A day off certainly wont hurt. Do you swim?

Sometimes I wish cross training came in the form of vegging on the couch in sweats. Maybe I'll look for a training plan that includes that next time around.

Hope the ankle feels better. That SUCKS.

Sounds like you could use a day off. Hopefully the sun comes out soon.

Here's how to fix that ankle:
1) Cease all housework
2) Force husband to grill meat
3) Pay-per-view chick flick
4) Ingest ice cold beer
Tomorrow's hangover will make you forget the ankle.

Hope the ankle is feeling better and that the weather is less crappy for you.

The elliptical shouldn't bother the ankle at all.
