I went out last night for a steady one whilst keeping an eye on the ankle. I'm so glad I went out!
I had an ankle support which didn't seem to help much when walking so I was fully prepared to not push it and go home after 1 minute of running. I started off veeerrrrrry slow and realised that after 3 minutes or so I wasn't even out of breath which reminded me how far I've come. I felt completely on top of the run and the pixies were out in force for once. I wondered if my fitness would allow me to get round having left about 10 days since W6R2 but apparently it doesn't affect things too much YAY!!!
The ankle seemed to stop niggling after a while so I stuck with it because I felt great. A small incline got my heart rate going pretty high about half way through which I managed to recover in the following downhill section. I ran the whole 25 minutes! My ankle felt really quite wobbly as soon as I stopped so I cursed myself for being so stupid and iced it, elevated, when I got back. I thought I wouldn't be able to walk to work this morning but I feel great and no complaints with the ankle whatsoever, it's the best it's been in over a week. Very strange.
Keeping an eye on it but feeling very positive about just having ran 25 minutes non stop. And enjoying it!
