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.

So, just as I hit the off button on my alarm, and was just about to turn over and go back to sleep, Lily woke up. I went in and got her back to sleep, and then figured that I might as well go running. (Thanks, Lily!) I ran down to 1300 West, over to 7000 S, up to 2700 W, and then back to 5400S. It was a rolling hill route. My ankle still doesn't like hills or slanted roads very much, but it is hanging in there. I ran the entire route in 51:00. It was a pretty warm morning for the middle of November. It was a bit breezy though.

I ran on the treadmill so I could do a fartlek workout this morning. I warmed up 15 minutes, and then did 6 sets of 3 minutes on two minutes off. I started at 10 mph and increased each interval by .1 mph. I finished at 10.5 mph. I felt a bit rusty on the fast parts, but at least the ankle didn't give me any trouble. I finished my cool down to eight miles. It was a good workout except for the fact that my stomach was giving me trouble the entire time. The entire run took 54:00. | | Add Comment |

| Ankle, (or should I say foot ligament) flared up after Wednesday's workout. I could feel it twinge every so often on the run. An extremely windy morning left me feeling less than motivated to get out and run. But, even a short run is better than none. I didn't time the run. I ran my standard SLCC loop and was very happy to be finished! Time to change the negative attitude! | | Add Comment |
