Alright. i just started to work out again,
after buying the game halo 3 on Sept 25,
and i just started working out again this
past monday. i always start with running,
and i noticed something about my ankles
when i was running. They burned with pain,
a lot. I kept running, and have done so
everyday till this friday. I again, ran
for 30 to 45 minutes, and when i took off
my socks and shoes, i noticed both my
ankles were swollen, and purple. After
about 5 mins, the pain and swelling, along
with the purpleness, go away. I'm asking
this, cause I've gained about 20 pounds
since i stopped working out, and just
before sept 25, i had sprained my left
ankle. Is this normal, just wondering. Oh,
and nothing had happened to my right ankle
previously, so i wonder why both are
acting like this. And if there is anyway
to make them stop doing this faster, then
just running everyday, it'd be great if
someone could help.

Um, ur joints are undoubtedly not used to
having to run with 20 lbs more body mass.
In addition, just the fact that u haven't
ran in a while probably contributed to the
swelling since ur body wasn't ready for
the running.

If you can run 30-45 minutes without
stopping (which I guess is 3-6 miles), I
certainly doubt you have an ankle problem,
since the average person in America and
probably worldwide cannot do that.
