Embarked on a 15 mile run this morning organised by Poole Runners (many thanks to all involved in its organsiation) which had a really good turn out.
I was feeling pretty confident as hadn't had any twinges from my ankle over the last day or so, although it turns out it hasn't quite healed. The 15 mile run turned into a 12 mile run and a 3 mile walk, but stopped running jsut as the ankle started to twinge, so I'm in a much better shape that I was this time last week!
Think it's going to have to be another week of rest and icing whihc is oh so frustrating as it felt great to get back out again with everyone! When I started running at the beginning of last year, I didn't for a second that it would become such a major part of my life! Still, I need to look after myself seeing as I have a big challenge this year, and with only 1 marathon done, there is still a long way to go!
I'm tempted to invest in some recovery compression socks/tights, although it will probably have to wait until payday next month, who would have thought that they would be so expensive!
If anyone reading this has any comments or experience with the compression socks/tights, feel free to send me an email and let me know what you thought of them. From what I have read so far, some people aren't convinved where as others swear by them.
Hopefully will be back to running soon and will have some more updates for you!
