Isaac and ankles

Hey folks.Tropical storm Isaac didn't do any real damage around here. There was rain and thunderstorms but that was it, at least yesterday. Today started out with on and off rain. Because of slightly increasing ankle pain,especially the right, I decided to delay my morning run. I planned to run on the beach in the evening. Instead I went out back and dead lifted 200 lbs as well as kettle bell get ups.Well by 1 pm there was torrential downpours, along with lightning. On my street water was at least 1 foot high. There went my run. I had to substitute basic exercises ( pull ups,etc) in a circuit for swimming ( IRSC closed early).Later in the evening I practiced some natural running drills along with plyometrics. My pain level is about 3. Like I've said, it's a delicate balancing act, trying to keep up the routine while avoiding injury.I think this week I'll still try to run but much shorter distances ( 1-3 miles). Of course ice always helps! Till next time.

Comeback

Sorry for the delay. From now on I'll try to post something at least once a week. Be patient while I get this blog site going.
Remember, one of the main things I hope to do is clear up alot of the misconceptions about physical training.This comeback of mine is a good example.I ran very little in 2011 due to my right fibula stress fracture. I was also limited in my strength training due to muscle pulls in my shoulders. I have been running now for about 3 months and I've made some progress. I'm averaging about 8:00 a mile, I weigh about 138lbs, am around 9.8-10% body fat. But another measure I use is pain scale, and currently, from 1-10,1 being very weak, 10 being excruciating pain, I'd say my ankles are about 2-3. One of the main things was I've proceeded with caution, focusing on technique, something the commercial fitness industry entirely ignores, and even disdains.That's the major difference between me and most commercial gyms. I'll explain more in future posts. Until then, train hard ( but smart).
