Starting all over again... by Mister_Padge

I've done it !  I've managed to do 20 miles !!!!!!   Yipppeeeee !!!!!!!!! 

I've got to be honest, it was a bit of a gamble doing the long run today.  I injured my ankle 1.5 weeks ago and only gave it a week's rest, before resuming training.  Although the pain had subsided during that time, the ankle is still not 100% right.  For the first 3-4 miles I was very self-conscious of my ankle, but fortunately after this initial warming-up period, the muscles seemed to relax and it became less of an issue as I plodded on.  My overall time was a good 10 minutes slower than a fortnight ago, which I'm putting down to the ankle injury.  But although the overall time was nothing to boast about, I was remarkably consistant across the distance.  Plus, I actually managed a negative split !

Good luck to all those other runners who are currently struggling with aches, pains and injuries !
