My ankle

I have to put a disclaimer out there for this post:
I don't have the prettiest feet in the world; with all the years of dancing in point toes, barefooted, and dance boots my feet have taken a beating over the years (and I am only 27). So when you look at these pictures just look at the ankle!

My friend Clair and I were running our weekly trail at the park and it had been raining so we were being careful. Lately we both have been tripping a lot and we attribute that to our tennis shoes. I am going on over a year now and the support is just not there. Well I tripped yesterday and it stung a little but I kept going. When I got home last night after making dinner (taco salad) I noticed my ankle was a little swollen. I didn't think too much of this because it's done this before. (There was this one time in college when I hurt it bad, freshmen year).

Today I woke up to an even bigger ankle...what is the deal? It does sting a little and my brave, strong husband tells me I'll be fine but still I can't get over how fat my ankle is!
See pictures below, your sympathy is appreciated!

This is the normal ankle: This is the swollen ankle:

Hollie, honey, your ankle looks pretty gross. I remember you always having ankle issues especially our freshman year. You need to take it easy now that we are getting ancient!


<3 Love you!

Hollie,
How's the ankle this week? It looked pretty swollen! Hey, still liking your new job? I miss you everytime we have an event. I talked to Connie and she said she misses you, too!

Let me know when you want to meet for lunch. Maybe on a Friday?

Have a great week!
