Finished Week 9 Run 2 today and really enjoyed and at the encouragement of Jo Whiley I put a nice burst of speed on for the last 60 seconds and I think I've sprained my ankle - its not really bad but its quite painful and giving me a twinge when I walk so I don't think I will be graduating this week, im going to have to wait until I can't feel any pain then I think im going to do the three week 9 runs over the space of a week again - quite gutted but im not going to risk further injury by attempting the last run on Thursday - hopefully I feel okay to complete week 9 next week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday!
