In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner.  I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled.   The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon.  6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Went out for a lunch run and my right ankle complained big time.  I doesn't feel like a strain but who knows.    Its fairly high on the inside of my ankle.

I made it a little further before I stopped in disgust at the pain in my ankle.  Now its got me wondering if I have a stress fracture.  No running tomorrow.  and ice tonight.
