Training Log Archive: Kseniya

Ankle and knee are feeling surprisingly OK. It seems I sprained the ankle higher than previous injuries on the same ankle, which makes sense because the reason for this roll is that I purposely did not tie my shoe laces tight so the shoe was loose, and on that uneven terrain an ankle roll would be expected. The reason for the loose tying of the shoe is b/c I've been getting severe arch pains, esp. on the left foot when orienteering. It doesn't seem like plantar fasciitis, maybe the shoes.. The good thing is that the ankle itself is fine, as it should be, strength and balance exercises do indeed work.
Today I went over to the chilly track, warmed up a mile, stretched well, then ran a mile at a tempo or maybe slightly lower pace, 8:39, which is slow, but for the beginning of my training season, I don't mind. Cooled down a mile and ran home in the dark.
