Arnica and ice
I have been making strides to get back to my old running self. Unfortunately, my body has been reminding me there is one component in that statement that might cause a problem. "Old" hasn’t exactly been working to my advantage these days.
That left ankle of mine, the one that I sprained in January, has been ensuring that I take my time returning to the road. After a 6 mile hilly run yesterday, my ankle has been aching and urging me to take today off. My training hasn’t even started, yet I’ve already drug out my arnica and ice pack.
*sigh*
This isn’t going to be easy.

Life is a journey and, for me, running is a huge part of it. Just like a great run, it has easy and tough parts. It is beautiful at times and ugly at others. Hopefully, I will reach the finish feeling good about what I have accomplished and leave a long trail of bread crumbs to show, those that wish to know, where I have been.
It might not be easy but you will fall back into your groove quickly!

You’ll be flying again before your know it.

It’s kind of worrying that your ankle is bothering you after all this time. Hopefully it will settle down soon.
