I was doing great with jogging I thought, I had been jogging intervals with walking & sprints. Then I switched to a more level track & found I could jog for 30 minutes. I was excited & proud of myself, I really enjoyed it too. So I jogged each morning until I notced my ankles hurt. At first I stopped & did some ankle rotations then kept on, determined to jog all the way. When that didn't work I jogged & walked intervals for a day or two & the pain seemed to be gone. I had another go & after stopping for some ankle rotations I had a great jog & actually went further than I had been, I loved it.
The rest of the day my ankles hurt. So I had a couple more days resting them, I rode my bike instead & did kettlebell exercises. My knee twinges sometimes when I ride, so I had another go at jogging & walking. I felt good so I went for 70 mins. Later that day I did some kettlebell work & took a short bike ride with my son. The we went for a family walk.
I slept poorly & was longing for a pillow to prop up my sore ankles in the night.
I made a plan to swim today. I even got my bathers & gogles out, but I find swimming a chore, so that didn't happen.
Next I blamed my shoes so I ditched my orthotics & went for a short gentle stroll, my ankles hurt part the way into that & are still hurting.
Do I simply need new orthotics or should I buy the over the counter ones? My ones seem to be tipping my foot outward, the same foot with the sore ankle.
Are my new shoes part or all of the problem?
Is it simple that I am new t jogging & my muscles & tendons are adjusting & its a bit painful for now?
I want to know but I don't want to go to the usual chain of appointments to find out.
Today I went for a short stroll, had a lie down with a book & have rested some. I am tired from a poor nights sleep & a worn out body that has a few overuse pains right now.
Tomorrow shall be a better day & yes, I actually plan to get to the swimming pool.
Be well!
