Ran 10 miles today in 1 hr and 17 minutes. I kicked up the speed about 20 minutes into it and held there until mile 7, then I did speed intervals until mile 10. Felt good to go farther today. Should be a fun week in Spanish Fork!

I'm so sad. I either sprained or broke my ankle on Tuesday night. I can't believe this happened to me.....and this week. What was I thinking complaining of only being able to run 5 miles that morning. It is definite that I won't be running the speedy spaniard on Friday morning. I can't stop crying. I probably sound so lame, but I have gotten so much faster the past 4 months and was looking forward to my first race since 2004. I dare say I have gotten as fast as I was in 2004 when I was only 24 yrs old. Depression is setting in. I hope it's not broken.

 Making matters worse, my hubby is out of town in Ireland till Thursday night. I can't even walk. I have two little ones 3 and 1. I am so screwed right now.

Sorry for the negative post. I just can't imagine not being able to run. I've done it nearly every morning for over 7 years. This is a first for me. I am screwed....

**Update**

Went to good ole Doctor Frandsen this morning. My ankle isn't broken (thank you thank you),

it's sprained. Stretched out ligaments. It looks like scariness. Semi good news: I got an air cast brace. I can now walk normal with it on, he said it possible to still run the the race with it on. Let the pain be my guide. I'm not going to push anything, but here's the plan. I am icing off on and on all day today, taking it easy, kicking my foot up. Tomorrow, I'm going to try the brace on with my shoes and run down the road and see how it truly feels. If it hurts to much, I'm not chancing it. If it feels ok, I may show up to the SS and may not be the speediest spaniard (white girl). But if I can run it, I will. I am still sad, but glad I'm not broken.  :)  If only I could turn back time......

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?

Ran the Speedy Spaniard 10k this morning. I had so much fun.I know my time wasn't what I had aimed for, but I am really proud of myself all around considering I have a sprained ankle.

No break for the sprain today. I woke up a little sore, so decided to hit the gym and ran 6. I think it helps move the lactic through out of the muscles anyways. My ankle is more swollen than before because of the race yesterday.I'll have to post pictures as soon as I can figure it out? It's confusing on here.
