Week 6 Day 2 - injury! :(

[fraggle79]

Was out last evening for my last interval run - week 6 day 2. Was feeling so good - listening to my own music, keeping good pace, thinking etc. Then I bailed! Totally went over on my left ankle, went right down, scraping up my right knee really badly as well. Wasn't even able to walk home - had to hitch a ride from a stranger! So disappointed - was really looking forward to continuing on the program. I've been so dedicated and now I have to wait. Haven't been seen by MD so not even sure for how long I'll be sidelined. Very sad and very frustrated.

Oh no!! That sounds awful. Hope your sojourn on the injury bench isn't too long and that you'll be up and back running soon. Take care

Oh no

I really feel for you. Hopefully you won't have done too much damage. Take it easy and make sure you recover properly - the running will always be here when you're better.

I’m on the injury couch too Nothing nearly so dramatic though. I hope your ankle heals soon.

oh no poor you! strap ankle and ice etc it to aid recovery (RICE) and hopefully you will be back on the road

two days later - now it's not so much my ankle but my right knee! hugely swollen and hard to bend. feeling discouraged as today was supposed to be week 6 day 3 ... sigh. hoping this recovers quickly and i can get the program all done before the snow flies.
