Training Log Archive: Ari-o

Run to Trader Joes. Still worried about the ankle. Felt fine during the run but sore when I woke up today. Soreness is on the outside, right where the bone (end of the fibula?) forms a ball. Point tenderness. But no pain when weight bearing. I did not go to stairs on Wednesday because of this.

Question: how much should I be resting this, what else should I be doing, and is is okay to do things like rollerskiing/double poling or should I keep weight off of it entirely?

Ugh.

C • Ankle 2

Rough training week. Sprained ankle, lots of travel, dealing with grad school apps, GRE, etc. Trying to get enough sleep. Also, I kind of want snow. There might be a crazed trip to Craftsbury or something similar next weekend.

Nice run with my sister in Central Park. Opposite way that I usually go.

Run to the subway at 96th street because express, then a run to NP

Push ups, hoisties, burpies, etc. A pretty long fun workout from our friends in NYC.

Headed out to Central Park. Warm and moist, with some wet leaves, and the pavement has certainly deteriorated in the past few years. A good ski, but not great; never felt my balance was great (maybe my ankle was still janky) and at one point took a minor spill on to the asphalt. The smallest boo boo on my arm. Then I skied slowly home.

Felt great hitting the stairs for PR day … until my ankle started to hurt more. This was sad. Self preservation mode.

Some bench dips and some sit ups.
