Worked like a charm.......................

My offering to the Ice Goddess that is. THE HUMIDITY BROKE and IT IS COOL OUTSIDE! Thank you Goddess (and you too Nanc).

Even though I was jolted awake by a huge thud over my head (don't worry, he is fine and couldn't wait to tell his wife I gave him a black eye, but it was the bedside table. Honest!) at 3 AM, and seemed to go non-stop until I made my way outside at 2:45 PM I was pumped to be running in better weather.

The first half mile went well and then, for whatever reason, I got shooting pains in my (left) ankle and up the leg. Cover your ears because I was pissed. NO WAY was anything going to ruin this run for me. I slowed to a walk and in a few seconds the pains reduced. Then, as I walked, I sent my ankle a vision. Picture this... Patty sitting on the side of the road, the ankle pain similar to being caught in a trap, so Patty reaches down (with her mouth) and proceeds to gnaw off the offending ankle, gets up, and continues her run with just a stump. Scared the pain right out of that ankle let me tell you (and made me laugh), and when I started running again in about fifty feet ankle stayed in line.

I did the eight miles that I was suppose to do last night (but opted to go out to dinner with a friend instead. Ethiopian. It was interesting?) and with the nice breeze I didn't feel sweaty (except of course for that constant trickle down the spin and into the small of my back... Always a constant stream...Maybe I should stock it with fish...Okay now I am just getting silly). Just?

During the last little bit my ankle was getting a tad grumpy, but I had my youngest stretch me when I got home and I am doing okay now.

The weather is suppose to hang around like this for several days. Makes me wonder what other kind of Goddess I should have had Nanc make me?
