Today I went to the doctor to see about my sore left ankle. I wanted to make sure there was no stress fracture or fracture of any kind before I continued training. They did a 3 view xray of my ankle and luckily there is no fracture. The NP wants me to bike for a week and medicate with Advil or Tylenol as needed and ice as needed. Pretty much what I have been doing, only I've been running on it. I told her I started the 16 week training program and she said to start back after a week. When I told her I only have 15 weeks before the event she kindly laughed and said I could still run on it but it would still hurt. I left not knowing whether I would bike long distances to help with endurance or whether I was going to continue to jog on it, but also relief that I could still continue with this journey! Praise God because I didn't want to have to quit!

I liked how I went to the xray room and they actually put them on films and sent them with me back to the waiting room until they called me back again. Here is a picture of one view. :) My plans are to go buy the Dr. Scholl's orthotics from the store and see if those help with the pain any because I have every intention to continue with training, I will persevere!
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 NIV
I also like the way The Message puts it:
Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality. Romans 12:11-13
