Doggone, another leg pain...
| Wed, 09-17-2003 - 10:08am |
This time it's around my inner left ankle, another muscle strain. I now have heel inserts in my running shoes and I'm wearing an ankle support, but no running for me for a few days again. I was going to do an easy run this morning because it's absolutely lovely outside (65 and no humidity, nice breeze), but I could feel that twinge just walking, let alone an easy run. I realize I've got narrow ankles compared to the rest of my build, but geez. How can I keep up the running when the least extra I do to train injures me?
Well, I'll be doing UB/LB, abs and leg lifts today. Sigh.

You've made terrific progress over the summer. Seems like you were just managing a 1/2-mile jog not so long ago. Take your time and recover.

It is so frustrating to want to exercise, but keep getting injured. Hopefully the insoles will help.
Feel better!

I know you have your heart set on running. I don't think that it matters too much how narrow or thick your ankles are. Mine are plenty thick (just ask Phyllis) and they give me no end of grief if I run for so much as a bus. Of course, I'm a bit heavier than you are too. Try adding some other low-impact cardio to your training program and give your gams a break to heal. I learned the hard way what overtraining does to your body. So keep up the walks and think about getting a bike or going for a swim. It couldn't hurt and will probably help.
Good luck.
