3.24K - not good. My ankles hurt for 5 minutes.

I hope that is my worst run out of the way.

I even walked about four times for a few steps as it just didn't feel right.

I blame doing those eccentric heel drops last night. I suppose I haven't got any issues with my Achilles!

Thursday or Friday has to be better.

We all have off days and if your ankles hurt then don’t push it. You got out there and ran which is the main thing.

Maybe you’re still adjusting to the new feet? Sometimes there’s a bit of a transition that your body has to accommodate. Hope the next ones improve.

If only I had new feet! As for the new shoes, I hadn't thought if that.

Heel drops (shudders), hope your next run feels better 👍

I will be careful of them. My Achilles have been fine, so I didn't have to do them, but I will have has to at some time.

Not what you're looking for?
