6r3 failure - not happy

[shinjin]

Been dreading and looking forward to my 6r3 big one all day. Just back from a business trip, dinner on the table and so delayed to just now 22:45, a little late but boy was I up for it.

Confidently started the walk with the lovely Laura in my ears and just switched the treadmill from 6.8 walk to 9.6 run. All going well until 2 minutes in and my left ankle fails on me. Tried to run through it but not possible. Run stopped and 6r3 failure after 7 minutes.

Really bad end to the week and going to bed now very unhappy.

Don't be unhappy - these things happen and they can't always be predicted or avoided. You've done really well to get this far!

Thanks for your kind words. I hope to be back of track when I recover. Still limping this morning though, so no idea what has happened.

Don't use the f word, it is just a hiccup on your journey. These things happen. Hope your ankle is OK, give it time to recover then do the run again. Am sure you will succeed

Thanks rolphie2, for sure I used the f word but it was not the one I posted!

Not sure what is wrong, but I will get it sorted.

Don't be unhappy, its a hard run without any injuries!! Just let your ankle heal and re-do the week, there is no shame in that, I am redoing week 6 starting today due to illness and its the third time I have had to re-do a week, its fine your doing excellent.

Thanks slowtony I look forward to getting back to it. I guess I need to find out what happened. As I was on the treadmill I can take care of my footfalls, so no idea what went wrong.
