Injured!

Have hurt my left ankle! After a six mile run on Thursday my ankle swelled up like a balloon it is a bit better today but still sore. Tried to run on it last night but was still quite painful.

Which is all a bit worrying as it is the Newark half marathon on Sunday and I am really looking forward to it as it will be the first race I will have run twice!

So I am planning on doing no running until at least Thursday when hopefully my ankle should be better. To keep my fitness levels up I am going to go cycling instead, a blast around Sherwood Pines tonight should get the blood flowing.

Was hoping to improve on my pb at Newark as the route is pretty flat apart from one largish hill at about mile 10 but thanks to the dodgy ankle and that at the moment it is 50:50 that I enter the race any improvement of my pb will have to wait. After Newark I have a two week gap until the Welbourn Castle 10k then pretty much a month until the Great North Run which I am running for ‘Guide Dogs for the Blind’ which I have to be fit for!

Do I run at Newark or not?

We shall see!
