Total Distance

6.30

I am elated beyond words. I put my air brace on this morning, suited up, Julie Hall came over and stayed with my sleeping kiddos and I went to the gym and ran 4 miles on the dreadmill. That's right, I RAN with a sprained ankle! Wahoooo. It didn't hurt and I was able to run about a 7:30 mile. So I think I am going to attempt the speedy spaniard tomorrow, and hopefully be somewhat speedy. I don't think my time is going to be quite what I would have done. But at least I can do it right?

I hoped off the dreadmill (thanks TylerS for the new word) and then I used an eliptical trainer for the last 2.30 miles. Just to be safe. Do ya'll think I am crazy for showing up in the morning to run with a sprain?

Yes you're crazy. Well, crazy about running. Actually, I was reading Davy Crocket's blog once, and he said that if you sprain your ankle, you should keep running on it in a race or else it will get worse and you're stuck. So maybe if you run on it it will loosen up, and you'll be fine to run. It will probably hurt a lot afterwards though. Is that a risk you're willing to take?

I'm glad your ankle is better... so does this mean I can get a ride in the morning?

Lynsey you can catch a ride with me still no problem!
