Training Log Archive: Sandy

A nice slow easy hike not wanting to take a chance of hurting anything. Ankle still a tad tender but pretty good; the hiking boots gave it good support. Used my hiking poles and my knee was fine. Trails were pretty muddy after last night's sloppy snow and this morning's warm temps.

Walk around the neighborhood with Sandy. She's still recovering from what was likely the flu and I just wanted an easy walk to test out my ankle and knee so sticking to hard even surfaces was a good choice. Ankle and knee both still a little tender but the walk didn't bother them. Whew!

F***, F***, F***. Traipsing merrily along around the meadow loop not really paying attention and stepped on a rock that moved and down I went wrenching my knee and rolling my ankle. I lay on the ground for probably about a minute before the pain subsided enough to get up and hobble on home. Iced both and wrapped the ankle and took some vitamin I. We'll see what the damage is tomorrow but it's all pretty stiff and sore tonight.

Hill repeats on A-hill. Figured I should do 4 since it's about twice as long as the hill where Sandy and I did 8 the other day. But I was definitely slower since I wasn't pushing it and was listening to an audiobook. But it was beautiful out. And the trails were in good shape. So a good outing.

Good session with Kelly. The arch in my right foot was sore for the first 15-20 minutes but then I guess it warmed up and was fine. I really hope this is not the start of foot issues.
