my training, thoughts and running goals

03/14/2007 - Run

So I was making progress, small but at least steady. I was not running huge distances but at least consistent shorter runs, which would work for me. Then it happened again, something got in the way. Running along last Wednesday my usual run course and just about 50 feet from the house, I try to move from the street to the sidewalk and run across a neighbors grass, and hit a small hole. Nothing big, I certainly did not see it, but I guess I put my foot in there just right. A twisted and swollen ankle. It was also kind of funny because I fell sprawling out on my stomach and face. At least I can laugh at myself.

So between not feeling “right” for a while and now a sprained ankle. I decided to do what I should have done when I started feeling sick. I took a week off. So Wednesday to Wednesday I did not run. With that I lost a week of training and endurance but I feel good and really want to run. So I guess it worked out somewhat good.

Here is my last run from the 14th with more posts to follow…

Run 2007/03/14

Sorry about not updated over the course of the week, but with not running I was a bit bummed and did not want to think about writing a running blog. If or when this happens again I may at least try to post a quick update so you don’t think I ran away. “Pun Intended” :)
