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.
