This week has just sucked--in so many areas. I feel the fog lifting though, and for that, I am grateful.
I ran yesterday for the first time since Thursday. Almost a week. My ankle is STILL hurting. I am going to see my dentist/osteopath trained doctor on Wednesday--get my teeth cleaned and get an adjustment. Gotta love that! My friend has reworked my running schedule. Yesterday, I walked 5, ran 13, and walked 5. It was fine. My pace was a lot slower, but I was fine aerobically. It was the ankle pain that was the bother--it wasn't horrible, just achy.
I don't know if I will be able to achieve my goal of running the whole 5K, but I will see what I can do. I am definitely going to give it my best.
I think this is week 7. If so, here is what I'm going to do:
Friday--Run 13, Walk 5
Sunday--Run 7, Walk 5, Run 7, Walk 5
I'm morphing the schedule. I think I will be able to do it. I hope so. I'm a bit discouraged and frustrated over the whole thing. It's hard to have to take a week off and then not see the improvement I was looking for.
Anyone else still running? Signed up for races???
I'm going to blog about my running progress to give an update. I am so sorry about your ankle and I know it must be discouraging. You did the right thing resting and hopefully the next time you run you'll feel that the strength has built back up. Run, Manda, Run!!!
