i haven't run AT ALL all week. not even a few feet. my left ankle is really painful to the point that i've been taking ibuprofen every day for it. i've done some icing (admittedly ONCE) but other than that i've just been trying to let the thing heal by giving it time. my right ankle hurts a little but not enough to keep me from running. i figured after a week of rest (which was a considerable challenge all by itself) my ankles would feel better. it seems to me that they sometimes feel WORSE! what's up with that?!?
today... 4 rest days AFTER my 1/2 marathon... my left ankle is really starting to worry me. i'm pretty sure that it's only tendenitis but the hypocondriac in me thinks its something worse.
tomorrow i'm running a tiny 5K in lapham peak... the lapham peak colorama run/walk & smokey bear fun run. i'm worried. i ran this last year and really just want to beat my time but i'm worried that after having taken an entire week off of running my time will be shit. i suppose that i'll find out tomorrow.
today i read this guy's blog. he's got 3 new entries up and man... reading other peoples' race reports and thoughts on races really inspires me. i am really excited for my 5K tomorrow even if i bomb it. i love love love running in lapham peak. it is incredibly challenging and beautiful. i find it very inspiring to run there.
so... stay tuned for tomorrow's race report and i'll let you know if i totally land on my face or if i PR... let's hope for the PR.
