Hooray, I got to run today
I woke up in the middle of the night last night to find my leg tight again, but when I woke up for real it actually felt much better. My plan was to try to warm up a bit and then let Pieter take a look at it. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t feel too bad to jog around a little bit. I was at the AHS track since that was where the group was meeting. Pieter took a look at my leg and did a few movement tests and said he thought my ankle was what was causing the trouble and making the rest of my leg work too hard. He gave it a good pop and told me to run some easy laps around there and let him know if it bothered me any more. Thankfully, it felt pretty good. My leg was just a little bit tight, but nothing like how it had been all week. I ended up running twenty laps, stopping a couple times to report that it was feeling all right. He said I should be clear to run easily the next few days, so that makes me feel good. I really just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t going to mess things up any worse if I ran. I ended up joining one of my friends for another mile or so of cool-down before heading out for the day. It still feels all right tonight, but I know I have to be careful. I’d like to get some more miles, but I think I will avoid the temptation and just hit the gym tomorrow.
