Greetings!
Never ever ever ran in my life, but, when a friend completed a 1/2 I was a bit challenged to give it a try. So far, I've completed C25k, C210k and was on way to training for a 1/2. Unfortunately, I took a spill just walking down an uneven driveway in the dark and badly sprained my ankle (#2 grade sprain). I wish there was a dramatic story, but, just walking (sigh).
Not only has this effected me physically, but, mentally I feel defeated. I'm 2 weeks post injury and I'm healing, however, how do I even manage to get back on track??? I was up to 8.4 miles and feeling strong.
I would be very interested in comments from folks - how do you recover lost ground? (no pun intended, LOL) - does this throw you out of the game due to recovery and healing time??
Thanks!
