Well I couldn’t resist and went and did it very slowly, but by the time I got to the cool down, my ankle/top of foot was hurting, and now it’s painful. Doing RICE, feeling sad, trying to be philosophical. Self-diagnosed as extensor tendinitis.

You will probably need to not run for 1-2 weeks. Give your ankle a good rest and take it from there. If it persists a trip to the doctor maybe better. Good luck 😊

Thank you for your reply, it’s hard to be sensible! I’m trying to see the big picture - I’ve come a long way already and it’ll still be there.

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

I understand why you want to keep going but if you continue your ankle will only get worse . Hope you get it sorted soon 😊

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you 😊

Awww, I hope you get it properly rested and looked after. You really will get back in the groove again (I was going to do my own post about how I'm not run for a week cos I have a cold and feel sorry for myself, but hey.. )

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to arbitrarygenius]

To be honest, I’d never have believed a few weeks ago that I’d so gutted not to be running! So I have to take that as a positive. Hope your cold is sooooon better!

[arbitrarygenius Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

In your honour I shall attempt to go out tomorrow!

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to arbitrarygenius]

Ah, that’s brilliant! Enjoy it for me! 🏃🏼‍♀️👏🏻

So sorry to hear this but you’ve come so far, all the progress you’ve made won’t disappear overnight. Most importantly, you’ve discovered how much you love running. That enthusiasm will still be there when you’ve recovered and will speed you on. Trip to doc to confirm self-diagnosis perhaps? Rest up. Your running buddies will be waiting for your return. Xx

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Puppy-love]

Thank you for the support 😊 I think I’ll give it a week or so and if not better, I’ll make an appointment with a physio. I’ll keep looking at the forum to keep myself going!

Oh dear 😢 hope your ankle feels better soon

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Tazzy_wazzy]

Thank you, me too! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Aww bless. Wishing you a good recovery. Rest for sure, I’ve had to to the same and it was so frustrating. Never in my life would I have thought I’d be cheesed off cos I couldn’t run!! But lovely peeps on here gave me great support and advice and I’m back in the game. Good luck 👍🏻🏃🏻‍♀️👍🏻

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Thank you! I’m still gobsmacked by how cross I feel that I can’t run! Never in a million years thought I’d ever feel like that 😄 Glad you’re all sorted 👍🏻 I’m trying to learn patience 🙄😆

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

It ain’t easy! 😳
