36/1842

 Fell of the running wagon a little, and haven't run for a week; it felt like it, as well.  Nevertheless, went out and managed to get around - derailed for a minute or so by an unexpected long flight of stairs (it's a long time since I've been to that park!) which didn't help at all. 

Left knee niggled on a downhill, enough to throw my gait off, so that needs watching.  Right ankle has an odd swollen line across the inside, along the line of a ligament - but it doesn't really feel sprained.  The ankle's been a little weird for at least a week, as it was rubbed raw at the point where the swelling line now crosses - rubbed raw by a broken-in but not battered pair of walking shoes which are normally pretty comfortable.  I wonder whether I've done something peculiar to the ligament; the ankle certainly doesn't feel sprained, just a bit battered.  Maybe just overuse - so I'm going to take myself off to the doctor at some point this week, just to check that running isn't a wholly silly idea.  

The trip to Mordor may continue by swimming for the next few days.

Huh.

Reading previous posts ... I ran on Monday?  Really?  Huh.  This has been an odd week.  I could have sworn I hadn't run since Friday.  The Garmin says the last run was Monday was well.  I'm not as far off the wagon as I thought, then - and makes the sustained run/pace less admirable ;)  

I'm still going to repeat this week's run/pace workout plan, rather than moving on.  Particularly as I don't think I should stress the ankle until it's been seen by someone who has more of a clue whether I'm damaging it than I do.
