Well, surprise surprise.
After my highest mileage week (I think ever), I'm broken. That lower leg various pains caused my ankle to seize again, so when I woke up this morning, it was quite painful to get around.
I don't think its a sprain, as I can put weight on it, and I was able to run 14 miles on it yesterday, but I do think if there isn't already damage to the joint, I'd be risking it if I continued to run on it.
Today is a cross training day: I would like to cycle, but I think it will still be too dark when I get home. Given my schedule over the next week, I am going to put in an extra rest day here, as I was already planning to do nxt Sunday's run on Monday. I think I can have an extra day and a half rest, and shift the training schedule, and hopefully the leg will have healed enough to get the miles in. Instead of running/cross, I'll be doing lots and lots of stretching and foam rolling.
