I have weak ankles. This is what I have been told this weekend when I found myself limping around my condo. Weak ankles? Never even thought! Am I really at that age?? Hah - well, 26 is still young, but geesh, things are starting to not be as easy as it was when I was 18!
So I took a break on Saturday to rest these weaklings. Then up Sunday for a run with my soon-to-be sister-in-law. 1 mile on the track of the JR High we both attended at some point. Felt great to be in the rain and wind - NOT. Hah... once it started to let up, it felt great to be out in the cool forested air. An running on a track was difficult yet FUN. I mean, difficult as in you can see your ending point and knowing when you need to stop sometimes mentally messes you up. But running with a friend makes it easier. I had a small ankle brace on and it seemed to help. Calf raises and other ankle exercises are in my NEAR future!
Monday was tough - this getting dark at 4:30PM is really killing me. I mean, I can't go out alone running in the pitch dark. So last night, with no one able to run with me, I made two and a half loops of my small neighborhood to cap it at 1 mile. SO COLD. I was all bundled and totally out of it. I wasn't in the right mind set and kept looking at my mileage hoping it would be over. Bad mindset to be in!
Today (Tuesday) I will hopefully bank a couple more miles as I have a friend to run with!
I am still ahead of schedule with my miles and am excited to continue this challenge!
Check out this new REFLECTIVE GEAR! This is what I look like when a car drives by - aint gonna miss me now! PS - That shirt ISN'T originally white - it is actually Blue!
Also, new beats for my runs. Slower in pace but total album is a success! LOVE ME SOME YELLOWCARD.
Any tips for my running in the cold? Let me know!
