It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
1.I runfess…
I used say that I was a summer runner. I hated the cold… and all those layers. I couldn’t wait for the temps to rise and the sun to stay out…
This summer has me changing my tune… the heat, the humidity!! When will it end???
sweating at 5:30 am…ugh!
2. I runfess…
I’m even preferring to race in the rain instead of the heat…
But obviously I’ve been lucky in that respect… this year rain has been a racing constant.
3. I runfess…
I’m experiencing ankle amnesia.
IOW, my ankle has always been tight since I broke it. It had lots of hardware in it which makes it hard to bend.
It felt different during the last mile of my recent 5k. I thought that I may be injured so I immediately made an appt with my chiro.
She said it was just tight and I was ok to run.
Could it be my achilles not my ankle or am I being paranoid?
After last weekend’s long run, I went back to my chiro to tell that she might be wrong!
I also made several PT appts, just in case.
4. I runfess…
I played tennis. hiked and played pickleball… all in one day.
The next day, my foot/achilles was tight…
I should just stick to ONE sport – running.
5. I runfess…

My First 5K and More... 
I hope your chiro is right and it’s just “normal” tightness that’s ailing your ankle/achilles. I’d say 3 activities in one day may have something to do with that. Haha!

Dang, no time for injury is right. I hope the tightness works itself out and doesn’t interfere with all those races coming up!

I plan to do those races as long as it’s not painful and doesn’t get worse.

Fingers crossed it’s just tightness – you’ve got quite the busy schedule coming up!
And yes, the heat and humidity have been relentless this summer!

Fingers crossed for the ankle!
I runfess that the humidity about broke me last weekend. So nice to be in Oregon this weekend where it’s drier and cool in the AM!

You don’t go to Ortho for your running issues? I swear by them. Only went to chiro once for some plantar fasciitis- they helped. You do a lot of different sports- I am amazed! I broke my ankle too almost 30 years ago. Has surgery with screw out in- they eventually removed them. Knock on wood- I have never had an issue with it since.

It depends on the issue. So hard to get appts. I love my chiro. Plan to try PT too.
Don’t want to remove the screws so it will never be 100%.

Gotcha! Your screws must be in a different place than mine. I broke my distal fibula. After awhile, the screws started almost poking through the skin- so, they took them out.

Tibia and fibula. 6 screws and plate on one side. Two long screws on the other. Not poking through. It’s been almost 14 years.
