For three weeks now I have been hobbling around after spraining my ankle. At least I am now able to put it to the ground and put a bit of weight on it, but anything other than around the house, I still need at least one crutch.
Before starting the Couch to 5K I did not notice how many runners there are about and although I only completed up to then end of week 3, I really miss it when I see them. It seems wrong to wish my life away but I cant wait to get back to it.
The one good thing to come out of my pain is that my new man friend and I have spent a lot of time together. He took me to the hospital and then offered to take Oscar for his twice daily walks when we found out I was not going to be able to do it for a while. I am not sure which of us looks forward to walkies time the most.
I have been really good with my diet too, I have resisted the urge to eat rubbish during the day and despite the lack of exercise I am still losing a bit of weight. Although I have been using some small dumbbells' while sitting down which may help a bit.
I will probably have to start back at week one when I eventually can run again whenever that will be, but I will definitely be back!!
