I rolled my ankle the other day on my run. It happened at probably the worst place possible, halfway through the run, which means even if I walk back I still need to put pressure on it. Not much of an improvement than just continuing if the sprain isn’t that bad which mine wasn’t. It has gotten quite a bit better over the last couple of days. It is still a little bit sore and the best thing for it would be to rest it further. However, if it feels better tomorrow, I plan to go for a short run anyway.

One of the toughest things about coming back from a short layoff from running is getting your focus back. This lack of focus on form increases the likelihood of injury. I think we also have a tendency to push it on these comeback runs, again not a great thing when it comes to running injury free.
