Everything was feeling great so I headed out the door and walked to the starting block (OK, the corner) Once the light turned from red to green (OK, I got my little flashing red light turned on) and official clock had been started (OK, just my cheap watch) I was off.
I paid really close attention as I ran and everything seemed good. I ran the first 3 miles pain free, and then for about 3 steps my right ankle was a little weak. I was very pleased to see it pass as quickly as it came. The rest of the run went really good. I got home and stretched, and stretched, and then stretched some more.
I am sure my ankle is a little weak because of running the mile on it yesterday when it was hurting, but this mornings run was very encouraging.
Just keep an eye on it and don't overdo it. That sounds like what you are doing anyway... I'm just reinforcing. You'll be normal in no time.
ReplyDeleteWhat he ^ said. It's always a little tense when something physical "isn't quite right". Hang in there and be cautious.
ReplyDeleteYea - watching it really close - and all day at the office too. Want to know what is going on with it. Tomorrow is a non-running day. I will be going to the gym, but only for some lifting, so that will be good for it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it seems OK
ReplyDeleteHey Tim, good for you! Just take it easy...as Marge Simpson is fond of saying, "Slow and steady wins the race!" OK, it doesn't actually win the race, but...well, you know what I mean.

Keep up the good running. You can get the 80 for the month of January. Which Marathon do you have in your sights?
ReplyDeleteSlow and steady, slow and steady....
ReplyDeleteI think if all goes well tomorrow I will get that 80 in.... I will see how the ankle feels.
I don't have my eyes set on a specific Marathon as of yet. I have some thoughts, but the timing of them are mostly not going to work. There is the ING Atlanta, but it is too early and I am not yet ready for it, then there is the Atlanta Marathon on Thanksgiving day... but that one is too far away. I am probably going to look for a smaller local one. I would really like my first one to be one like the ING, but don't want to wait till next year.
I am focusing on the Half, once that is over I will get more focused on picking a Marathon. Only 2 weeks till my Half!!!
