10K.

Good morning!


Yesterday, I took part in the Governor's Cup 10K.  This is an annual race in Helena, so it was nice to not have to travel anywhere but down the street this time :)


Right before, literally, a few minutes before the race, my friend Liz and I decided to trample down a tiny little hill on to a less busy area to stretch.  PROBLEM- I rolled my ankle on my way down the tiny little hill.


Regardless of all the pain in my ankle, I knew I still had to run this race.  


It had to be between mile 3 and 4 that I stopped and walked a hill.  Not really because of my ankle, but I just felt that I needed a walk break.  


I improved my time from my most recent 12K by 28 seconds per mile, which I was happy with!  However, the minute I crossed the finish line and began walking, my ankle throbbed with pain. I rested and iced it last night, but it's very kankle-like today :(


I'm training for a half-marathon in one month and I'm really hoping my ankle feels better VERY SOON so I can train hard ASAP!


I'll keep you all posted as to if I have a perma-kankle or if it goes away :)  Other than the swollen ankle, yesterday went well!


I hope you're all enjoying your weekends.... 


I'm hoping to add more pictures soon- my camera is hiding out in Josh's car :)
