I know I’ve mentioned before that I have a bad ankle. Its kinda frustrating, when I walk for a time it tightens up and starts to get sore. I work through it, and I don’t want to use it as an excuse. I have avoided trying to jog much in fear that my ankle wouldn’t handle it. Until today. I decided it was time to at least attempt to jog a small portion of what I have been walking.
I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to do it much at all. It hurt like hell at first, but amazingly, my ankle loosened up after a bit while doing it. It was weird really. I jogged till I was fairly winded (which didn’t take too long, heh), but I did it. Its given me some hope for the possibility of reaching my goal of a 7 minute mile. In addition to being able to do HIIT and sprints in the future.
I’m also pretty happy to say I hit the 50 lbs. lost mark yesterday. I’m trying to really push for my goal this month, I may not make it due to hitting a plateau for a week and a half, but I’m definitely trying. I would really like to be able to say I did it, despite the issues.
