i missed a couple walks over the past few days - on wednesday, i twisted my ankle moving off the pavement for an oncoming car during a night walk. i didn't move over enough and my foot landed half-on, half-off and twisted over onto its side.
thursday, my ankle was killing me, so i decided to give the walk a break. added to that, i had an old chimney to dismantle and that involved a lot of running up and down the ladder to and from the roof, carrying of chimney sections, and so on, so that was a workout.
friday, i was definitely feeling it - but i got the new chimney up and the flashing installed - but it was too late to walk; i was exhausted.
saturday, i got a new section of chimney put up (the original chimney was way too short so we had to extend it up to six feet above the roof) and the whole thing capped, storm collar put on, and stove pipes assembled. i had to take dandy for a walk - poor dog was going mental. it was okay, but my foot wasn't feeling too shit-hot.
sunday, i did most of the shingling and after cooking the thanksgiving dinner, i went for my walk. it was going well until the last big hill before the far point. that's when my ankle started stabbing and i was seriously considering calling mom to come and get me. i made it home eventually.
today, we left for our walk but the first hill told me it was too much, too soon - my ankle was just throbbing. maggie was home so dandy played with her for a bit.
compensated by doing a few planks and some light jogging on the rebounder - i hate that thing: my collarbones and shoulders will be killing me tomorrow. feels like a very angry dwarf was whaling on them with a very large hammer.
