On a break (ouch)

[Ma_Gooo]

I started C25K 3 weeks ago the second week i repeated week one to improve my breathing before moving on to week two, at thinned of the week i was SO chuffed with me progress excited about starting week 2 (3) and woke up Wednesday (last week) morning in agony with massive ankles. Posted here and decided to take a break until swelling went down. On Tuesday morning after NO sleep due to pain and a week of swelling and shuffling instead of walking I went to the doctor some medical term for being a lazy ass for a long time and getting up off my butt too fast! Fluid on both ankles and knees and one ankle has to be X-rayed if the swelling donst go down by Friday.

So three days into a course of fluid tablets & Difeene Im feeling much better but still a bit sore.. the doc said take it slowly (when i start backl) bit disheartened , raring to go had signed up for a charity 5 k this sunday (just a a walk)

So i guess if you are struggling remember to take it easy and at your own pace, don't do yourself an injury.

A cautionary tale indeed!

I picked up an injury at the start of week 3 and as much as you are frustrated now, I think you will look back on it as a positive. Going forward, it does help you to understand and respect your limits and abilities.

All the best.

Ouch - sorry you had to "learn the hard way". Hope you'll be up and enjoying running again soon.

Painful lesson learned MG!

Sorry to hear that, but sure it will only be a temporary set back.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
