no running for me :(

I'm getting very frustrated with my ankle. It still hurts and I've not been on a real run in a week. Sitting home is not a nice way to spend a strike - I could be running almost every day.

I did run 2 km on Friday but it hurt. After a bit of running the pain goes away, but I'm so afraid of doing some real damage to my foot that I don't want to risk it.

Last night the ankle was bothering me while I was sleeping. When I'm on my stomach my toes are pointed and that seemed to bother it. Maybe I should try sleeping on my side and back for the next few days.

1 hour, 9.1 km

I had a fun run today. It was 9.1 km, in an hour. I'm getting faster. That or else I made good time because it was so nice and cool out and because I took a nap this afternoon. It felt nice to be running and not feel sick. I passed this guy walking and he asked me if I was getting ready for the army. I told him "no, running for fun" and kept going.

40 minutes (6 km)

I tried to wake up and run this morning. I set the alarm for 6 am. Yeah right, that didn't happen. So I ran this evening. It didn't go so well. It was so nice out. Cool and crisp and great feeling after the heat wave we've been having... but.... I've been feeling under the weather for the last few days, and when I ran today I felt dizzy and like I was going to throw up. The beginning was fine, then I felt sick, so really I only lasted 40 minutes. I estimate that to be 6 km, though I think I was a bit faster than that. My GPS watch ran out of juice 30 minutes in, so I can't tell for sure.

8 km

I was walking after my run and I saw a mole walking down the street along the curb. I followed it for a little bit cause I was worried it would get run over. When it got to a drive way I chased it up onto the sidewalk and then it into someone's yard. I'm sure they are gonna be thrilled, but I didn't want it to get run over.
Good run today. It was so hot I ran with my water belt. It bothered me a bit at first, but then I sorta forgot about it. I had my ipod in one of the pockets, and one water bottle in another. I drank half a water bottle (I think it's about half a cup of water) during my 55 minute run (8 km). I felt good except for the heat. It was so hot that within minutes I could feel myself sweating under the small reflective band I wear on my ankle.

40 minutes

I woke up early yesterday and went running in the morning, so I could miss my evening run in order to hang out with my friend. I dislike running in the morning, but it was not bad. I ran 40 minutes, but didn't use my GPS watch so I can only estimate 6km, but can't be sure.

Anyway, I hope to go for a longer run today, although we're having a heat wave so I'll have to see how it is out there before I go. If it's cool I'll go for 13-14 km. Looking forward to it.

Passover

Happy Passover!
