Stupid Ankle

I read the One Dollar Diet Project blog today. As a project, a couple decided to eat on $1 or less each per day for 30 days.

My very first horse, Tarzan, died on this day back in 1980 or so.

I woke up crying again this morning (what's up with all these tear-jerkers lately?!?). I don't know where I was in the dream (Dallas, I think), but in the the dream I saw and talked to Gene & thought he was still alive but then realized he wasn't.

So much for a 14-miler. The run started out just peachy keen. My left ankle started acting up a little around 2.5 miles, but nothing particularly noteworthy until an uphill around 3.5 miles. Walked 3 minutes and it felt better, so I started running again. Uphills = not good. Grrrr. Walked/ran some more. After about 5.25, I gave up the ghost, cut the route short, and walked the roughly three miles back home. It's very tender right above the inside ankle bone. The right ankle had a few achey moments, but nothing like the left one.
