EIGHT 28 - 31

Monday 28

Yesterday evening I noticed bruising on my left medial lower leg, just above my ankle. I was beyond frustrated, thinking it was related to my achilles injury. This morning, while foam rolling, I discover a similar bruise on the lateral side. This makes me feel a bit better because I now believe the bruising is from Friday's massage therapy.
