I haven’t ran in 9 days and while my ankle is feeling a lot better, it’s not 100% yet. I did get an X Ray and the initial reading is that there is no fracture, but I have been referred to the Orthopaedic surgeon for a second opinion. Not sure when I’ll get in to see them, so I probably won’t run at all this week either.

Just as I suspected, without the running, my eating and drinking habits have started to slowly slip back to my old ways. Not sure why I have a hard time controlling myself if I’m not exercising, but that seems to be the case.

I was on week 6, ready for day 3 of the C25K program, so not sure where I’ll start back up, but I suspect it will be around week 4 if I’m lucky.

Looks like I may have sprained my right ankle last week. It’s been really sore and has some swelling. I’ve been doing the RICE thing, but still did my C25K runs and it’s not getting any better. I am going to take a few days off from the running program and see if it feels better, it not, I’ll go see the doctor about it.

Here is what I’m dealing with, which I think is a ‘high ankle sprain’.

So, until that heals up, I am going to concentrate on doing some other forms of exercise. I am going to start the 100 pushups and the 200 sit ups program. These structured programs seem to help me stay on track, so I’m going to see how well I can do with these.
