I had a leisurely morning with my beloved coffee and caught up on all the blogs I didn't get to read yesterday.
I went to the store to buy really essential things like molasses (so I could make gingersnaps) and tortilla chips (because they were on sale). It's impossible for me to go to the store and not buy a bunch of random stuff.
My run today was a nice, easy 2 miles with some bad tv (Vampire Diairies, I'm not proud). My ankle is still hurting a bit, but I might have figured out what is causing it.
When I first started skating in roller derby, I had a lot of bruising on my ankles from my skates for the first few weeks (months?) of practice.
Note the ankle brace above, that was for padding, not stability.
I bruise ridiculously easily. I've been wearing a new pair of waterproof boots a lot more lately to walk Buddy, and I think that's what has been irritating my ankle. So, I am taking a break from the boots and we'll see if the pain stays away. I'm also planning on wearing thicker socks the next time I take those boots out.
And since I have nothing else exciting to tell you, here are a couple of cute Buddy pictures to start your weekend off right!
Any exciting weekend plans?
Cute pup! I actually went to Costco the other day and ONLY bought the two things I needed. The cashier was totally shocked to see someone purchase just two things LOL.
ReplyDeleteWow! I bet a 2 item purchase is pretty much unheard of at Costco. Nice self-control! :)
DeleteHope that works on your ankle. Loose boots can really rub. I'm sorry for giving you the bruising gene:) and Buddy is cute as ever!
ReplyDeleteI'll take it, you gave me some other pretty good genes too! :)
DeleteBuddy pics are always good! It's Figure Skating Nationals so I am absorbed in that all weekend. My Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to take figure skating lessons when I was in elementary school - I used to read an ice skating book series, too! We didn't live near an ice rinks though, so that didn't pan out.
DeleteI hope you are right and your boots are causing the problem! Are you anemic? That can make you bruise more easily. I bruise easily too (even when not anemic) but I think it's because I'm so pale they all show up. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am in St. Louis right now to watch my BFF get pinned as chief in the Coast Guard. It's a fun little getaway! I'll be heading home this afternoon though.
I am usually borderline anemic, I haven't been tested in a while. I do try to take a supplement, but I'm really bad about it. I also have the super pale problem :)
DeleteWell probably one of those or both then! :)
