I ordered <a href="http://www.swedeo.com/ankle.htm" rel="nofollow">this one</a> and have run in it a couple times now. It works great. My ankle's improved enough now that I only need the brace for running. Geetah from the RW forums mentioned in some old posts (because I searched anything related to this for days) the he uses a lace-up from Walmart that's $8, so you could try there. Additionally, the crazy foot doctor I saw last week recommends <a href="http://www.dme-direct.com/aircast-airsport-ankle-brace-air-sport/" rel="nofollow">this one</a> as being the most comfortable one in a running shoe, but I'd already ordered my Swede-o in the meantime and I'm satisfied with it.

Do you wear it while running/walking, or just at home? Flo, I just wanted to ask – is there a certain brand/type of ankle brace you use? Do you wear it while running/walking, or just at home?

I'd been looking for your report since yesterday after seeing your timing had stopped near the start of the race. So happy it was the chip and not you that was coming undone. Sucks though. You deserve a big fat break for the next one! Bruce, I was just replying to it when you posted this.

You're going to have such fun doing the family vacations, though for some reason I get the impression they might conveniently coincide with marathons in cool locales. <strong>Lara</strong>, oops! That's why I can't tell jokes or stories, I always screw up whatever I hear and hand it back wrong. Too many uncontrolled substances get to a gal's brain after awhile. :D <strong>Kai!</strong> Thanks for delurking!! That's so cool. Sorry to hear your ankle is twisted, though. Hope you get back to normal asap, and if you haven't got a brace, I highly recommend one. OMG, just went to your blog and now I must have bread pudding right this instant, that looks tooo delicious!
