Oh Oak. I am sorry to hear you are having an issue this close to your race. I know how hard you have been working. Hopefully the ankle will stop barking quickly. Have you tried taping it yet? So frustrating.

My hamstring an glute are holding up well except that now my feet are bothering me. I had tried a new pair of shoes about 6 weeks ago. I want to try more cushion and they felt fine to start, but now the tops of my feet are bothering me and my big toes. Has to be the new trail runners. So yet ANOTHER fail on shoes. Fortunately my old trail runners still have some life in them so I will switch back. I am hoping everything calms down quickly.

Running a local trail race tomorrow, so I will let you know how it goes. I had planned on running a 20k, but I think I will drop down to the 10k since I was sidelined for a bit. The last thing I want to do is push it now and re-injure my hamstring 6 weeks out from North Face. So i will try and be smart.

Hang in there Oak.
