A.M. - 6.2 miles. This is the last big week before easing into my taper. I feel like I really need to make this week count! We ere up at Wolf Creek and I ran on the road to a trail system about 1.5 miles away. About 1/2 mile into my run a truck was coming up the highway so I ran onto the shoulder thinking I better be careful I don't step in a hole and re-injury my ankle. Then I bam! I rolled my ankle. #@%#!!! It hurt but was not as bad as last time. So after a minute of assessment I got back up and gingerly finished my run. When I got back I took 400 mg ibuprofen and iced it. It hurts but is not too bad. It is the timing that is bad! I'm not sure what this will mean for the rest of my week. P.M. - Took 600 mg ibuprofen. Then headed out the door at recovery pace. My ankle felt much better than expected. Some pain inside but I kept an even stride. Ice and another 200mg before bed. I'll see how it feels tomorrow when I hope to do some intervals. 4.6 miles.
