What is wrong with me? I'm seriously having such bad luck. I spent about 3 hours over the last 2 days, since I fell over my dishwasher door, working out all the kinks in my muscles and actually felt really good running today. I felt good, that is, until I stepped on a rock and sprained my ankle!
We warmed up 2 miles then ran 3 miles hard @ 6:19, 6:28, 6:35. That last one was slightly uphill. Then we drank and ran about a half mile before the second part of the run, 3 x 1 mile with a minute rest between. My times on that were 6:17, 6:23, 6:23. Finished feeling tired, but so happy that my hamstring didn't bother me and that my knee, although black and blue, didn't hurt either.
Barely into the 2 mile cool-down I stepped on a small rock and rolled my ankle. I stopped and lay down on the road saying, "I'm having such bad luck!" I couldn't believe it. At least I didn't fall when I twisted it. I was able to walk ok if I didn't totally relax my foot and let it do it's normal full range of motion. Every once in a while I got a shooting pain through it though. Melanie ran home and came back in the car to get me. I'm glad I walked. If I tried to run the last 2 miles I probably would have injured it more or favored it and run funny making something else hurt. So stupid! |
