Got up at 6:30am to attend the group training at central park. the goal today was five miles....
first mile in, my right ankle started to feel funny. i tried to rotate/stretch as much as i can. tried to push myself to run some more, only to find the pain to slowly crawl up to my shins. it was terrifying. i haven't had that pain since i have gotten my shoes (which was also since the start of the training). i took the advice of one of the runners and turned back and walked to "home base". walking down, the pain slowly dissipated. i tried to run again, then my left started to act. so i stopped. i just tried to run to see how my foot would hold up... it was really disappointing... i really wanted to finish the course...
when i got back to the "home base" one of the mentors and trainer, helped me out with some stretches. which helped... and i hope would help me out even more as i continue.
it's not hurting right now, but it is tender when i massage it. i don't know if it is my shoes or just the terrain... it might be my legs telling me to get that nike shoes so i could get that nike + ipod thing! hehe
well.. i hope to be running either tomorrow or monday (after jury duty). still debating whether to take a rest day tomorrow or not... i'll keep you posted!
God bless!
