So, a month ago (two days before a half-marathon race) I sprained my ankle on a training run. I swear I am the only person who can sprain their ankle running on a sidewalk!. I landed hard on the ankle and strained a ligament. It has been pretty sore. Needless to say, I had to pull out of the race. So, here I am building up once again. A January marathon is out, so hopefully I will find one this spring.
This morning I did a mix of cross training and running. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical at levels 7-8. Then, I ran an easy half an hour on the treadmill. I began at 8.0 mph and increased every three minutes. I ran 4.25 miles, but I'll average the entire workout to 6.5. My ankle is still a little sore when I start, but warmed up after 10 minutes.
