Rehabilitation

It’s just over 3 weeks since the ankle sprain (mid-marathon) and I went to physio for my assessment today.

I went for a 4K run on Saturday to test it out and it didn’t hurt, but felt tired rather quickly.

At the assessment today, I was told that the ankle is pretty good. PT said that if I wasn’t a distance runner, she’d just send me on my way, but instead I got some strengthening exercises and stretches. I do those for the next week and then go back for reassessment. I’m good to run as well, but I’m to keep the runs 8km or less until the ankle fells stronger.

Hopefully I’ll be back up to longer distances very very soon. ENDURrun is in 61 days! For now, I’ll take it one day at a time.
