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.
It might not be easy but you will fall back into your groove quickly!
The goals that are worth it are rarely ever easy. :)
You’ll be flying again before your know it.
Easy peasy! Kick butt and take names :-)
I’ve been catching up again – good for you for signing up for TNT! You’ll be one of the mass of purple shirts at the marathon. I actually felt like odd man out at Nike with my Maniac yellow on.
It’s kind of worrying that your ankle is bothering you after all this time. Hopefully it will settle down soon.
