So my 7mile run was wonderful!!! I ran it in 1hr 16mins. Thats good for me. This was a tempo run with a 1 mile slow run, 2 mile at tempo, 1 mile slow, 2 mile tempo then 1 mile slow. I did these miles in the time that I was suppose to except the last mile. I was going a little too fast still and wanted to quit with a half mile still to go. But I didn't. I looked at my Garmin and seen that I was running too fast and so I slowed down just a bit and that helped. So, all in all I couldn't believe that I finished it, enjoyed, and was proud of it!!
Thursday's workout was some serious weights and if felt great! After my run from Wednesday my left ankle on the inside of my leg was a little sore but felt better with a little bit of stretching.
Friday was a 5 mile run and I couldn't wait to get out there. Before my run I did about 20min of light stretching. At the start of my run I didn't feel anything in my ankle. Then about into mile 2 I could feel it but not enough to stop. Then about mile 3 it was there and pretty sore. I kept going until I couldn't go anymore and that took me to 4.30miles. So discouraging!! I have made it thus far into my training plan with no aches or pains......only a little bit of stiffness. I have been icing it and it feels fine just with walking and I'm going to try and do the elliptical later today. So we will see. No running for now at least until Thursday when I run the 5 mile turkey trot! I have also been wearing a brace off and on but like I said it feels fine just walking. I'm wondering if I should wear the brace during my turkey trot? What do you think?
