Well, this afternoon I said to heck with it and went for a jog. I took a few Advil thirty minutes prior, and I got through it. I had a little pain, like an outline around the bone on the inboard left ankle. But it wasn't acute, and after a few minutes it receeded. At about a mile and a half, the inside ball of that foot felt a little numb. But, I made it the 2.17 miles I was aiming for. Sadly, I had left my HR monitor belt back in California in July, so another is on order. Hopefully, I can get going again. I was very happy that taking such a long break didn't completely kill my (limited) ability to breathe. If all goes well, I'll run the Goblin Gallop on the 31st.
And, naturally, I'll be at the Restore Sanity / Keep Fear Alive Rally in Washington DC on 10-30-10!!!
Okay, here is the run stuff
Hey.. Welcome back.. I had been wondering about you.. Nice to see you are getting back into it!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. I've been checking regularly. Glad to see you are back running.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back runner Dave!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. My left ankle still is not right. Maybe with enough ice, more doctor, different shoes, etc, I'll be able to find a way to keep going. I really don't want to stop.
