Repercussions

So depressing... I haven't run in about 3 weeks due to the unfortunate sprained ankle incident at the beginning of August.  I was doing so well with my training prior to that. I was trying to be totally and 100% prepared for the upcoming Montreal Oasis 10k at the end of September.

Three weeks off the roads doesn't sound like it would cause too much damage, but it feels like it has.  I wrapped my ankle this morning and went for a little "trial" 3k run to see how it would feel and to see if it would cause any pain to start my training up again.  Although it was a little awkward running with the ace bandage around my foot and ankle the main problem was that I felt a huge loss in my endurance. Perhaps it was just an "off" day, but I am really going to have to keep a consistent training schedule to get back on track.
