I finished week 2 on Monday but stepped into a pothole in the pavement and twisted my ankle. It only really hurt in the initial wrench and I can walk on it fine but it is still a bit swollen - really want to start week 3 runs today but should I wait?

Listen to the advice from our lovely Oldfloss. Rest a bit and make sure your ankle is fine before making a bid for week 3!

Oh no please don't....you'll only end up damaging yourself. RICE it. Let swelling go down completely before you run!
Thanks all, followed the advice reluctantly! Will give it until Saturday I think. Grr
