Hey everyone! Well, Saturday I did not run my long run, so Sunday Weston and I went to early service at church so I could run the 15 miles in the afternoon. About 3/4 mile into my 15 mile run I realized my ankle was hurting, and bad! I slowed to a walk to see if it would go away, and it just got worse:( So I turned around and walked home. I put my foot up and iced my ankle - after about an hour, it started to feel better. I'm not sure what I did, but it's pretty sore. I hope it doesn't last too long:( I am happy with my decision to turn around though, I have learned that when training - you have to listen to your body and do what it needs. That day, my body (more like my ankle) had to rest. I do not want to injure myself anymore than that!
Well, this morning I woke up and after walking around the house for a few minutes I thought, well, my ankle doesn't hurt too bad right now. So I got on the treadmill. I ended up doing 3 miles at a really slow pace - it felt pretty good, my ankle was a little sore, but no pain like yesterday. I still put my foot up and iced my ankle for about 15-20 min after the run. So I am hoping that if I take it slow for a while my ankle will heal up and it will not affect my training very much:) Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, because if I get hurt right now it would not be good!
The fundraising is going well:) I have received $70 more in donations, and have a $200 donation pending right now:) Thank you everyone!!! I'm sooo excited! The Euchre Tournament is coming up soon, we are having a lot of people say they want to do it, but not actually buying the tickets. So if you want to do it, please email me at ofoneheart@hotmail.com and we can get you a ticket. It will be nice to know how many people are going to come so we can plan accordingly.
I am also working on getting a few business sponsors for the Run/Walkathon. Let me know if you have any ideas or know of any businesses that might be interested. Thanks so much for reading and I will try and keep you posted a little more often!
