Swollen ankles

I’m starting W5R1 this weekend and I’m having problems with swollen ankles. I can only run in a evening and because I’m on my feet at work all day I’ve noticed when I’ve got home my left ankle has swollen to twice it’s normal size. ( I’m assuming it’s down to the weather) it doesn’t hurt so it’s not sprained but, is it save to run or will I course damage in some way? It’s back to it’s normal size in the morning but unfortunately I don’t have time for a morning run.

Not sure but if it doesn’t hurt I guess it should be ok?

My legs swell in the heat. So do my hands sometimes! Always ok in the morning. Walked in the Swiss Alps a couple of years ago in the heat and my legs were huge!! 😕😕
