So, I'm about to start week 5 the next time I can go out. I had planned on completing w5d1 two days ago but my left ankle started to swell a little bit the day before. The pain was very minimal. The swelling has gone down and I was going to run today but I thought I'd play it safe and stay home.

I didn't feel any pain at the start of my day but I've been doing chores around the house and now I have a steady ache coming from the lower part of my ankle. It's not intense by any means. It's just there. I don't want to make this any worse but I also want to get back out there and continue with the program.

I spent most of yesterday off of my feet but today I am moody and antsy and I want to move-- I want to do things.

Plus-- I'm discovering that it's kind of hard to stay within my calorie limit when I don't have the added exercise calories-- Especially since I eat when I'm bored and I am so bored right now. :-l

Has anyone else had an ankle problem like this? How long did it last? Am I handling it right? And what do you do when you can't do much on your feet?

I guess I really posted this because I'm frustrated and a little annoyed. I really didn't think I was overworking myself and I stretch before and after I run...
