Sunday February 25

I did it!! I went out on my first run since I injured my ankle!!! I did five reps of 3:1 (run for 3 min and walk for 1 min). Even though I know that I walked a few times for longer then one minute, I went out there and ran!! I just may be ready to run in the 10K now!!! YEAH!!!!!!

I feel great, but now I have to ice my ankle.

Sunday February 18

Well I took yet another week off from walking and running. My ankle is still swolen but I continue to ice in hopes that eventually my ankle will return to its normal size. Tuesday I am going to the gym with a girl friend, at least I will be able to work out a little bit. I miss running.

Sunday February 11

I went to my running/walking clinic to hear the speakers. I didnt join the group as I am still in pain and my ankle is still swollen. However, I now more motivated to get better and stay healthy. There are ways to exercise and train even with an injury like mine. I am going to start going swimming and doing core and upper body at the gym.

I am glad that I went to the clinic today, it helped me to stay focussed and motivated for the upcoming week!

Week Something

Last Sunday my left ankle gave out on me and I fell while running with my clinic. I have been in pain all week. Although the swelling has gone done, it is still not 100% gone. It looks like that I will not be running the TC 10KM this year. I am VERY upset about this, however I also understand the need to let my ankle heal fully before starting a training program again.

This week

I actually came down with the flu this week and havent run or walked at all. I plan to start up again tomorrow.
