1st long walk after the injury

Due to the sprain ankle, I have been out of run/walk for 2 weeks. Today, I joined the team fatbird Kingfisher run along East Coast Park. Instead of running, I was walking slowly at 10mins/km pace for about 6.7km. This is better than what I have planned. The right leg did get some pain in between but it is manageable. The three small muscles on the right side of the calf get some serious work out and have signs of cramping up during the walk. Though I was at slow pace, I did try to speed up and able to have a stretch of 200m at 7mins pace.

Seems that the mobility of the ankle joint has improved after the walk. I am almost walking normally. Though at a certain angle, the ankle joint still have pain. And it is slightly swelling. I will need to continue the rehab exercise to try to get it back in shape.
