Not backing down…

I had a good week. Life has been super busy at work, but made time for my runs this week and felt good. Our weekend long run was postponed from Saturday to Sunday due to the weather (6-10 inches of snow). While we probably could have run on Sat, it was a beautiful day today, so I’d say a good decision to make the switch. Good, until about 4 miles into the run when I stepped on what I thought was a little patch of soft snow and ended up landing on the side of my foot and twisting my ankle. Many years of volleyball has taught me what a mild and a severe sprain feels like and fortunately this one was not bad. I walked it off then began jogging slowly. By the end of this 18 mile run, I was PASSING people on the hills. I was not litting that patch of snow ruin my run and it turned out to be a great run! I felt like I could have done 2 more miles, but thought perhaps I should leave good enough alone today. Think I might stick to the pool tomorrow AM though!
