Having to take a break :(

So today I completed week 8 run 1! It was a really tough run and I'm really proud of myself for completing it.

Unfortunately, my ankle was acting up again and when I got home I had to ice both ankles for a while. After chats with fellow runners and physiotherapy friends it seems I've injured my tibialis posterior.

Everyone's strongly suggesting I take a break for a bit and rest up which is really really annoying because I'd been getting so into running.

So a good day and a sucky day! :(
