Weekend

Saturday
No training today, just rehab. I've been using the NormaTec boots and really feel like they help reduce the swelling and pressure sensitivity in my ankle. Hopefully I can get them to let me have a pair on the cheap!

Rehab:
Nothing new. Feeling more comfortable with weight bearing but having pain in the posterior ankle. I'm thinking it may just be some capsular tightness or irritation in the posterior tib. Who knows, I may have sprained the deltoid ligament too and that's what hurts medially.

Sunday
Marathon day. Early morning, pick up Amanda, drive to stadium and set up the NormaTec booth. We had 7 units running pretty much non-stop the whole day until about 1:30. It wasn't until 3:30 that I got home. I brought a unit home and put my feet up, spent about 30 minutes in compression and then hit the rehab.

Rehab:

Starting to do more on my feet so I've been wearing the ASO. It seems to help and I feel much better doing more dynamic closed chain movements. Calf strength is still lagging behind so I did more loaded heel lifts today which were tolerated well. The biggest news was I was able to get through the agility ladder with side-side shuffle and high knees. It was a bit sketchy on the high knees but the side-side felt pretty good.
