Ankle still sore

Ankle not nearly as bad today but I am going to play it safe and not run today even though I want to.

Treadmil run in the morning!

Ankle Hurts bad!

It never fails. Once I start to get in shape I get hurt/injured. Woke up to a painful ankle and could barely walk. I stayed off of it a lot today and iced it on and off. Very sore tonight.

Lets see how tomorrow goes before I head to the Doctor.

No Run Today

A lot of jobs today with my side business. Sprained my ankle last night on a job. Did not run today.

4 Miles Today

Did 4 miles on the treadmill at the gym. The last miles was a minute and a half faster than the first 3. Felt really good, although I am still very slow I am just happy to be running pain free again.
Walked for a quarter mile to cool down after the run.

Did the normal ab routine.

• 25 side sit up on each side.
• 25 crunches
• 25 v-sit up crunches
• 25 Knee up to chest

That's 14 miles for the week so far with Wednesday as my rest day. Worked this week was bad so the runs helped me a lot. 

3 Miles today

Ran 3 miles today in 33:41. Figured I would do better after a rest day but not today. A run can always surprise you!


10 Miles for the week so far.


I have never regretted going on a run, but I have regretted not going on a run.


Also after the run I did the normal ab routine.

• 25 knee ups to chest
• 25 crunches
• 25 side sit ups on both sides 
• 25 V sit ups crunches

I iced my knees for 20 minutes after the run today.  


Aloha

Rest Day

I took a rest day today for recovery. Legs are sore so didn't want to push it. Had a couple of handyman jobs after work so will do some sit-up work before bed.

Another long run for me

Busy day! Almost talked myself out of running this morning. I said I would do it tonight but I knew my schedule would not allow a night run.


So I did 3 Miles in Kapolei from my house to the Golf Course entrance gate and back. Took 32.41 minutes. About 3 minutes faster than normal. I kept saying only 2 miles but felt ok so kept going. I think it is time for new shoes though. After the 4 miles yesterday, I didn't think I would run 3 today, but what a surprise.


Walked 18 holes of golf and the my dog on a  1 mile walk tonight as well. Needless to say but my legs are smoked!


I think golf and running has something in common. If you have a bad posture and technique in golf you hit a bad shot and unless you correct those things you will never score well. Same in running, posture and technique must be good or your times will not improve and you could get injured. My knee feels no pain so far. I corrected my running technique and am working on my posture. I am trying to keep my ankles loose on the runs and I stretch my ankles a lot before the runs.


Also after the run I did the normal ab routine.

• 25 knee ups to chest
• 25 crunches
• 25 side sit ups on both sides 
• 25 V sit ups crunches

I have not iced my knees after the last two runs. I need to do that again. 


Aloha
