On Saturday morning I awoke with an ankle problem. I could plant my left foot OK but any slight twisting was very painful and I had a constant ache from it. I was quite worried; I rested it for the rest of the day.
On Sunday it was still sore but had improved; another rest day. I saw Liz Yelling on the Telly running a 5k in
On Monday my car needed an MOT, so I dropped it off before work and ran the mile and half back home. I could feel that my ankle wasn’t 100%, but I could run on it at full speed and it wasn’t too painful. I planned to rest it for the remainder of the day and to start training again on Tuesday. I was feeling much happier until in the afternoon I went down with a cold!!
I’m off work today and probably tomorrow. I hope to be back in training on Friday. I could dose myself up and carry on, but I wouldn’t do myself any good. I’d only pass it on to someone else and maybe even put someone out of the GNR. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for that.
It is not the end of the world though, at least it is this week and not next, it should also give my ankle the time it needs to heal up properly. I’d still like to get one long run in at the weekend. I’ll run a slow 12 mile as opposed to the planned 9. I’ll then have the few shorter warm down sessions in preparation for the actual day. I still feel that I’m capable of breaking that 2:00 mark.

bad news about the cold, but taking it easy should do the trick. Take some vitamin c or multivits to help
fingers crossed you are fighting fit for next weekend!
