I have a cankle

This is what I woke up with this morning. What really woke me up was the burning itch coming from the top of my foot…a burning itch anywhere is never a good thing.

While out on my usual Tuesday morning trail run I felt the most intense pain coming from the top of my foot. Over the weekend I had rolled my ankle and it had been tweaking a little during my run, so I instantly thought that I must have torn the ligaments. My foot was screaming, I even yelped a little! I pulled back the tongue of my shoe and found a wasp caught between my shoe and my sock. I am not sure how many times that it stung me; I am going to say more than once. Having no allergies to wasps I finished the run, went about my business even taught a spin class.

Waking up to my cankle this morning was a bit of a surprise, kinda threw a wrench into Wednesday morning speed training. So I am going to put my feet up and make the most of the sun for the rest of the day, benadryl, a little ice and maybe even dig into the growing pile of books waiting for me to read.
