All Hail the Ankle Brace!

I'd been having problem with my right ankle while skating. I kept spraining it in--usually pretty minor injuries, but the fact that I kept using it and kept doing it didn't help.

So one of my co-workers, who does a lot of martial arts, suggested I get a little ankle brace.

I picked one up at Target for a dozen dollars, and it fits like a glove. It does make my shoe fit a little tighter, but what's most important is that it has significantly reduced my ankle strain.

I highly recommend ankle braces for your pushing foot to all skaters over 30.
