I ran yesterday (C2K5 week 5) and misstepped when slowing down from a run to a walk. Nothing hurt, and I finished the run with no problems. Today, I noticed I was getting a twinge in my ankle and have a knot between my ankle and my heel. I have full range of motion, and the knot only hurts when I apply significant pressure to it. I'm guessing it's a mild sprain, but considering I really have no problems other than the knot, do I still need to take a few days off? I've kept it iced this evening and wrapped prior to that, and I plan on wrapping it for work tomorrow as well. Tomorrow is my day to run again, unfortunately, and I have a hard time getting back into the swingy of things when my schedule gets thrown off :/

    I would see how it feels, only you know how long it takes to feel better for yourself. Strains and sprains last for different times for different people. I would just see how it goes and if it is painful stop running and maybe just finish the rest of the way on a brisk walk if that feels okay. I would also keep icing it and wrap it up to give more support.
