I sprained (badly) the ankle that I've had rebuilt twice, so I haven't run in over a month.... and I have a HM in 10 days. The goal will definately be to just "finish upright".
Louisiana bound!!
Bad ankle + HM

WOW! I finished... but geesh... I really paid. My ankle was NOT impressed with my effort lol. Around mile 6, it started getting really sore and was very swollen. By the time I got to mile 10 I thought I might pass out from the pain. But, I staggered/hobbled thru it and got the BLING!
I would not recommend anyone doing a HM on a sprained ankle almost two months of NO running.... (I checked my log book - I sprained it the day before Thanksgiving).

I sprained both my ankles running the Rock and Roll marathon in San Diego on the long slanted part of the highway. It was agony, I had to walk a lotta miles to finish it. I can't even imagine STARTING that way.

I am SOOOO running this one again though. It was an AWESOME course and very well organized. If I ever decided to make the marathon leap, this one would tempt me......
Did you neoprene wrap it?

Just KT tape. My doc ordered xrays, but the VA just rescheduled... She's worried about a stress fracture. I told her I thought it was soft tissue. After all, I'm the one that's had this silly thing rebuilt twice.... I'd be surprised if it was a fracture.
Meanwhile, I've cut waaaay back on running and have added some swimming, water walking (against a current), and a stationary bike to the mix. My next official race is in April, so I need to be better prepared!
