The ankle pain is back. I went for a short but fairly fast (for me) 2.24 miler yesterday morning and the whole rest of the day I could feel it in both ankles, shooting up the insides of my calves. No one has really ever been able to explain what this is to my satisfaction. I thought that the orthotist had my number, but considering he is now in posession of my inserts for something like the seventh time, and I still have the problem, plus I've got the gross and extremely painful blister problem, I'm feeling like I've got some problem no one has ever encountered before, and I'm basically screwed.
So he's going to adjust them today, I should be able to run with them tomorrow, and then we will see if I need a complete remold. Which I probably will. *Sigh*
People have a lot worse problems than this, I know. And be be brutually honest, I wonder if my inability (more like refusal) to lose twenty pounds is a causation here. I can't help but think my ankles would be less stressed if I weighed 130 instead of 150.
Tomorrow. If I can just get through today, perhaps I'll feel less despair, perhaps my orthotics will magically work, perhaps I'll be a real runner.
