    Morning all. Its Monday today and a public holiday here which means no work! I slept in a bit, strapped on my shoes and immediately noticed pain in the outside of my rt ankle. I continued my warm up and started my run, but half a km in the pain was just getting worse. So I stopped. Walked home with a slight limp and googled. Looks like peroneal ligament? I know someone else gets this. What's the solution? New shoes (that's usually the answer haha). I've massaged it which seems to have helped and will rest it today. Could it be from a lot of barefoot walking? I have relatively flat feet.

    @Avidkeo Hugs!

    I have flat feet and wear custom orthotics with neutral shoes when running.

    At the start of this summer, after I started wearing thongs (shut up USAians I mean flip-flops :smiley: ), my foot/ankle hurt for a couple of weeks. I wear Birkenstock thongs which have support, but it's not my usual orthotic shape. My foot/ankle improved as summer has progressed but it still twinges a bit though it managed 30 km yesterday without it complaining.

    Just a thought that yours might be due to something similar.

    Oh wow... I should not let myself get that behind on this thread. You would think that 35 days of furlough would mean I would stay totally caught up. But apparently I had even lazier plans than reading stuff on the internet.

    Yes, the deadlift socks ARE neon pink... with unicorns ..... AND NARWHALS!!! .... And they are amazing.
    That’s so many levels of badass!

    @HonuNui I like them socks, they remind me of spy eyes! I love socks. I just don’t like wearing them. I’m always barefoot.

    And @katharmonic @louubelle @martaindale @orphia, I wash my hair 1-2 times a day. But if I get two showers in a day, I’m likely just conditioning it the second time. I can do the hot water rinse thing, but eh... I started using gel and hair spray with this shorter cut. So I feel like I have to wash it out. Now if I don’t use it, I can do the rinse. But if I just skip a was or rinse, my head gets itchy and it drive me nuts. My hair is a bit bipolar, it’s straight on top and curly in the back so not washing the natural oils out makes it more manageable. But the top straight hair gets limp and annoying. My hair hates this hard water that we have. I could talk dh into a softener just for my hair... ok and the appliances.
