Stupid? Maybe.

Posted on July 3, 2008 by Thomas Powell

I made an appointment for Tuesday @ 9:30 am with the doctor. Really hoping that there’s nothing to see him about by then, but it has been two weeks and pain still causes limping occasionally. I start feeling better then get worse, although the general trend seems to be in the getting better direction.

Doing frozen water bottle rolls and ice on the ankle. When my heel is thoroughly frozen, I’ll switch back over to heat.

Oh, yes… I’m supposedly racing tomorrow.
