Training Log Archive: Spike

I jogged a little bit. It felt a little awkward. I can tell I'm favoring my ankle a little bit. But the ankle doesn't feel any worse after running than it did before.

It'd be nice if there were a simple way to measure swelling and inflamation. Is my ankle more swollen after running? How does the swelling compare to yesterday or the day before? When my leg/knee was trashed, I could measure the swelling with a tape measure and was able to track improvement. The ankle isn't as easy to measure.

An option might be to come up with a simple measure of how much I can move my ankle (range of motion) that would be easy to repeat.

Felt a little stiff, but otherwise ok. I'm also not limping for the first time since Sunday.

I stuck my foot in front of Mary for a second opinion. She said that the swelling was down (but still clear) and the black and blue was less.

Might try a bit of easy jogging tomorrow.

Maybe something tomorrow.

The 31 Day Challenge officially ends today. My ankle is swollen and sore enough that it'd be stupid to train today.

Warm up jogging.

The main thing to say about today's run is that a couple of K from the finish I turned my left ankle/foot. It hurt a bit. I walked/shuffled to the finish. I wrapped it soon after finishing and took pretty good care of it.

On the flight home the ankle swelled a bit and it is worse now than it was before I got on the plane.

I am still holding out hope that it'll feel better tomorrow and I'll be able to keep up the 31-day challenge. Hope.
