Feelng Glum
Well, this time last week I thought my sprained ankle collected the week before Valentines Day had healed, so began some training, achieved approx. 17 miles over the 5 days or so, mostly on the tread mill to give the ankle a fighting chance of keeping straight. I was feeling good and on track for the Wilmslow half this month....Yes well, that was last week, Saturday morning, the ankle was really stiff and painful and I only managed a short shuffle to the shops on Sunday, in fact a .8 of a mile shuffle according to my sadly under-utilised Forerunner. So what to do? I plan to scrap the running altogether for a week and just try and maintain some fitness on a bike - exercise or realtime - and then maybe take a rain check. I will be bitterly disappointed not to do the half on the 23rd.
I suppose what I really need to know is if I will do the ankle any permanent damage by using it before the pain has subsided or whether I should just strap it up and get on with it?? Any thoughts anyone??
Funny I never dreamt a couple of years ago that I would miss going for a run! !
Phew this is hard work !
