MiniNoodle W4R2 (or not)

Started so well. Was chirpy about going out and then get to the little park she likes to run around and suddenly she is limping. Had to make her stop and come home as she twisted her ankle. A little twist but I’m not risking a more serious one. So a little time off to make sure it’s okay and then back to it again, maybe at the weekend if it is completely okay by then.

Excellent call... hope MiniNoodle is fighting fit again soon, but always good to err on the side of caution, especially with ankles. Lots of pampering required for little stars while they recover.

The fact that you had to make her stop speaks volumes for her spirit, she shall go far... keep training so you can keep up!

I was pleased she wanted to keep going too. I have been running faster when I run with her as it’s still intervals. But not sure how long I’ll be able to keep pace with her 🤣

That's the right thing to do. I hope she wasn't too disappointed. The running will wait til she's better.

It’s a shame but she knows not to run if she hurts herself now too.

A wise decision. Have a few days rest and see how things are before running again. You wouldn't want to make it worse.

I hope Mini Noodle's ankle heals soon. I love her attitude, her clothes and hair are fab too, and she has a great Mum as well.

(My Mum obviously didn't make me walk on a sprained ankle when I was a similar age to Mini Noodle. Oh no. Not much. Just the remainder of the weekend, then a full day at school. And no, it didn't kill me, and yes, it did make the injury worse, the ankle was strapped up for the next couple of weeks.)

Thank you 😊 she said it feels better today but she managed to trip and graze her knees so now they are sore 🩹

Here’s to being able to put our feet up when we need too 😃

Good call. We all have little set backs but hopefully they make us more determined. A few days taking it easy and fingers crossed MiniN will be OK to run again.
