Mar 5 - Shane

Morning workout: About 2.5 miles with the platoon, which was pretty painful with my ankle. Then a 20 minute ab workout.

Post-workout meal: Oatmeal with peanut butter, 1 apple.

Afternoon workout: Swam 1100m with about 5 one-minute breaks, then treaded water for 10 minutes. I'm getting better at pacing and rhythm, compared to yesterday.

Post-workout meal: 2 sandwiches made from Orowheat 12-grain, mustard, ham, salami, feta cheese, avocado, and lettuce. Also, another apple.

Other food today:
2 salads worth of spinach
8 olives
3oz chicken breast
3oz skirt steak strips
1 avocado
1 can black beans
1/2 cup shredded colby/monterey jack
1/2 cup cottage cheese

My ankle is all sorts of colorful with bruising today. There's actually more dull pain today than yesterday, but it hurts less when I move it. The rest of my body has that good kind of slight tiredness from swimming, and it's awesome.

i know exactly where you are coming from with your ankle. i feel for you, and i know it hurts. it may heal faster if you stop running for a week or two. biking and swimming will defidently help make it stronger, seeing how they are low impact sports, but the healing process will be slow if you run a lot. i know i'm not a doctor, but i have twisted a few ankles in my day.
