Turmoil

Today I just went for an easy short run and took Ruby along with me to make sure I went really slow.  My foot is still not right (it's all I seem to talk about at the minute) and I'm supposed to be racing tomorrow night so I wanted to just have an easy one tonight to see how things went.


As well as having the pain in and around my big toe, I have also been getting pain in my ankle on the same foot which, as I have mentioned previously, I'm hoping is linked as that may mean it's muscular and therefore should be easily fixable. 


On tonight's run, I got the pain in my ankle but no pain in my big toe.  I just ran down to the barn and back but my ankle rolling on the uneven ground was causing pain on the outside, near the sticky out bone thingy (so technical!).


When I got home, I put some ice on it straight away.


I'm still going to turn up for the race tomorrow.  It's a flat 5k and I only seem to get pain when running on uneven ground or up and down hills (which unfortunately is the kind of running I like!) so hopefully it will be OK but it's really difficult when you have an injury like this because you spend so long going over it in your head and trying to decide the right thing to do.  Half of my head says 'don't run, you're only making it worse' but the other half says 'stop being a wimp, it'll be reet!'. 


I've said it once and I'll say it again, I really can't wait for my scan on Wednesday!!!


Total distance - 3.25 miles
