It's day 5 of my self imposed rest break

and it's really killing me. Finally, the swelling in my ankle has gone away completely. It's feeling really good this morning so by the weekend I should be just fine.

I have a 5k on Sunday and I'm going to do it. On Saturday I'm going to Wal-Mart to get an air cast so I can run. The following weekend I have a 1/2 marathon - that's going to be a little tougher but I'm going to do it. I can't sit around much longer it's really driving me crazy and an air cast will allow me to run without injuring my ankle again. So that's it....

I must say though my eating is really going well. Since I can't exercise I've had to watch my food intake and it's been really good. I've been eating lots of fruit (at least 3 servings a day) and have really upped my veggie intake. I started the week bloated at 164 -gasp- but have dropped back down to 161.5 today (I knew it wasn't real weight just a hangover from the eating binge this weekend).

Well, I guess I should get ready for work.......
