Did the run - my first ever at night - felt really good at the end. Went into the warm down walk and managed to twist my ankle on an uneven patch of concrete. Lots of pain now - ice applied but I’m already worried that I won’t be able to run for a while.

Rest, ice it, but then gentle movements to stop stiffening...hope it heals soon, but do not run on it until it feels easier.

How frustrating. Rest up and you’ll soon be back on the program.
