If you have read my previous blog (you might not have done as I didn't share on Facebook), you'll see that I hurt my ankle on Thursday night and so had to abort the 8.5 miles I had planned to do.
I was only doing the 8.5 miles on Thursday because I didn't think I'd get time for it this weekend as I have been away but I managed to get home early enough to give it another shot tonight.
As the sudden onset of ankle pain I had on Thursday started when I was running down off the Pike, I decided to keep it pretty flat tonight and see how it went. I ran from home down to the school and then headed to Liverpool Castle and along the edge of Lower Rivington Reservoir, coming out at the prep school. From there, I ran along Horrobin Lane then down The Street and around the road towards Anglezarke.
I looped around Anglezarke Woodland Trail and eventually came back out onto the road.
This is where a car went past me, the driver beeping the horn and waving enthusiastically. Apologies, but I don't know who you were. I didn't even pay attention to the car so can't work it out from that, all I know is that it was a smallish dark coloured car. Who are you mystery motivator?
I then headed up 'the slipway' towards Yarrow and down to the bowling club, heading back through Go Ape to the school then home.
Thankfully, there was no ankle pain, although it is still slightly stiff compared with the left ankle and there is a dull ache when I circle my foot.
Total distance - 9 miles (only 9.5 recorded on Strava)
