Look after it btchance as my sprain has come back to haunt me. I woke up this morning and it was throbbing so had to take some Ibuprofen and it still took a while to stop hurting. I was supposed to be heading out for an 11 miler but I have a rule (after doing some spectacularly stupid things in my early twenties while martial art training) that if I have to take any painkillers to allow me to train then I have no business training. So....I've decided to rest it from running for two weeks which means no half marathon at end of February for me I think I just overdid it a bit last week and the ankle wasn't up for it. I'll hopefully be able to fit in more cycling to keep my fitness going.

I think I'm going to enter a local half in June which will give me plenty of time to build up my legs/feet in my new shoes - just need to find a couple of 10Ks for prior to June to keep my motivation up.
