Kind of what I was thinking: if it doesn't feel worse, maybe you're not making it worse.

I'm still working up to the condition where it's "having fun" though. I had twinges and pains in the first half mile of the first run, starting at the feet and working their way up to the hips. They lined out within a mile, although this sprain happened without warning several runs later. But if you just stop at the first flash of pain you might as well not start. It boils down to what is the risk of further injury IMO.

I did get to do some running today, more like a slow jog https://www.strava.com/activities/684252481 with walking when the ankle began to protest. Obviously I need the conditioning work, but also a day or two rest before the "run" doesn't give me much opportunity.
