The ankle burn

So on Monday I ran only 3 miles around my neighborhood. Mile 1 was OK, and at the end of the mile I stopped and stretched my legs while holding on to a stop sign. I was barely feeling the burn in my ankle. Then on mile 2 is began to burn more so again I stopped at the end the mile to stretch it. Finally on mile 3 I could feel it with each step. So far it’s not getting better – it’s always there. The only thing that’s increasing is my weight. When I get depressed I eat and when I stop running I get depressed. That isn’t a good combination.

Today I exercised on my stationary bike to keep pressure off my ankle, then did some weights. Tomorrow is my “new” beginners class and they’re doing a time trial. So I sent a note to the coach saying I won’t attend. I gotta keep it easy for about two weeks, and then see what’s what.
