Look at that shiny medal. I love it and congratulations again.

Please don't beat yourself up too much, I'm sure alot of us have increased our pace before because of seeing another runner and letting curiosity get the better of us. (Not all will admit).

You could've been going slow and still injured yourself by stepping bad, so put that behind you, concentrate on getting better and we all look forward to seeing you back out there where you belong. 😊

Hello to you Myrar, Just read your previous post too. I am so very sorry. I do hope that your ankle is on the mend. Here is a bunch of flowers for you 🌺🌼🌸 to go with the medal. I may have read a post about those, I'm not sure. A splendid medal indeed! Have you had anyone confirm that it is a sprain that you have suffered?

Thank you for the flowers ..Much appreciated ...No I haven't went to the dr ...But it has eased... I take it ..It's a sprain ..the pain is just under my knee cap to the left ...It was so painful on Tues night and Wed ...But did feel a little better Thurs and even better today ..I can walk without limping ..Was limping real bad the first two days ....so I'm hoping I will be fine next week .. but I will take it really easy when I do manage to run maybe 10 min to start with as I'm scared incase if I run again it will be painful ..Will keep you informed of my progress ...Thank you so much for asking 😊😊

I had thought that you meant a sprained ankle, which I had a long time ago. I landed on someone's foot in a netball match. I was probably in my 40s at the time. Clearly, with pain under your your knee cap it is a completely different injury. Mine went blue all the way around the ankle! The hospital staff gave me list of exercises to do interspersed with instructions for rest, elevation and ice pack. The exercises really helped so was able to drive my daughter to her gymnastics training I think it was, just 4 days later. Do hope the healing process is coming along well.

Beautiful Bling! Wow... and well deserved...:)

Take heart... if it helps, we can do everything by the book and still end up on the IC:)

(Watch for my post later!)

You just take time to recover and you will be back out there and moving forwards:)

That really is something to be proud of and is a new profile picture too I see. Good luck on the IC, I know how frustrating it can be reading everyone else’s posts and not being able to run, but take it slowly back again. 🐌🐌🐌
