Pain...90% contained

Well, Yoga seems to be a winner in recovering from the flare in my peroneal tendons & muscles.  Icing and rolling are good secondary approaches.  I did not have any pain yesterday, but I was still somewhat tight and had limited range of motion in my ankle.  Because of this, Phill and I kept our run at one mile and walked one mile.  Then, we did about 30 minutes of yoga and core excercises.  Then, I rolled using the roller, stick and a tennis ball.  I felt fantastic and loose after doing the Yoga, which is good news. 

Phill and I have used this link as a guide to our Yoga movements and poses: http://www.runnersworld.com/runners-world-yoga-center.  So far, we have only attempted the first video, but we will probably move on to another video next time to keep things dynamic and interesting. 

This morning, my ankle was a little stiff and I had a little bit of pain, which disappeared as I started to move around.  I'd say I'm probably 90% recovered. 

I'll probably stick with running a mile and focusing on stretching and core for the rest of the week.  And then I'll check in with myself after that.  I hope to be able to get back to my routine of running 2 -3 miles.  I am definitely going to stick with doing Yoga, as I really think it is helping me. 

UPDATE TO POST: 

Thanks to the one person that completed my Poll!  I appreciate your feedback, and I'll make sure to craft a good post for you soon!
