It's been awhile, I confess I haven't been the best marathon training follower. I was using Hal Higdon's half marathon training schedule to get ready for Dam to Dam, the 20k race happening on June 4th. The weekend I was supposed to run a 6 mile run (the longest I have run so far), I rolled my ankle pretty bad. I knew it was coming, to be honest. My ankle had been bothering me for weeks, but I foolishly ignored it. After I rolled it, I tried to run on it, but only made it 3 miles before I gave up. I went to the doctor, who sent me right to a physical therapist, who told me to rest for 2 weeks. And so, here I am. It's four weeks before the 20k. I tried to run 6 miles yesterday even though, according to my schedule I was supposed to run 9 miles. Notice the word tried. I ran 2 and a half miles and then walked the rest of the course. Argh! That is all I can say.
And today, my ankle is killing me.
