Immediately upon stepping out of bed on Monday morning, I felt a sharp, shooting pain on the top to my ankle as I walked to the bathroom. I decided to get out the door anyway and complete the prescribed 8.5 on the Rock Creek trails. It loosened up as I ran, and although it was a bit tender afterward, the pain faded throughout the day.
Tuesday morning I kept my plans to do an easier workout (being only 2 days after a major race) and after adjusting the laces on my shoes, I felt little pain in my ankle. Wearing flats for 9+ miles and navigating all of those 180 degree turns during the race on Sunday must have irritated something, but I don't think its much to worry about.
The workout went well, I felt great this morning. I ran 3+ to warm up, did a 2k at cruise pace around my neighborhood 1k loop, then headed out for a 6+ mile fartlek of 3 x (2 on, 2 off, 1 on 1 off), 3 on 3 off, 2 x (2 on, 2 off, 1 on 1). I felt strong and fast, completing the last 6 miles of the run in 38:40 feeling pretty fresh. I got in about 11 for the morning.
