My Ankle and the Nike+ Sensor

by lilla on August 9, 2008

I’m beginning to think I may have done more damage than I though to my ankle. It still ached all along my walk to the Farmer’s Market today and it’s been over 3 weeks since I injured it. FD!

Anyway, it’s a slow hazy day here in NJ, so I thought I would just post an article from LifeHacker for the archives in case it should come in handy one day. It’s a ‘how-to’ on replacing the Nike+ sensor cheaply.

    Lilla,
    Sorry to hear that the ankle is not healing for you. Be creative and find a different way to keep shredding. How about swimming?

    Thanks for the encouragement guys! I know it will heal eventually.


    Good idea Larry. I'll look into other ways to shred!

    I agree with larry.
    You shouldnt pressure it too much or you might inflict some long lasting damages.

    Swimming, as larry said is a good alternative.

    Of course you could always just hope your way on one leg :)
