  • ONE WOULD THINK…
    that during all those years of volleyball…
    all those years of tennis…
    and more likely during that one year of hardcore cross-country…
    I WOULD have hurt myself.
    But, no. Never.
    {Okay, a few bruises from diving in tennis or a few shin-splints from XC, but anyhow…}

    I just had to break myself doing something STUPID.
    Walking down the hallway stairs,
    on my way out to walk/run,
    trying to adjust my iPod,
    BLAM!
    = land all my weight on my left ankle
    after missing 3 stairs.
    Yea. Nice work
    .

    So, even if I would’ve wanted to run the 5K Saturday morning,
    it just wasn’t in “the cards.” Instead, I got called gimpy and
    tried to play it off as no big deal. Yet, it’s still swollen & an ugly color, so…
    SICK DAY it is!

  • Ouch.  Get well soon!

    Statistically, most driving accidents occur within 5 miles of home.  I think this is a related fact.

  • Ouch! So sorry to hear that. It’s cool that you run 5K’s, what’s your usual time?

  • @GreekPhysique - Ha ha ha… before I respond, I probably should state that I’m not fast. I think I’ve completed the two 5Ks I’ve done in the past at right around 33min (11min mile pace for 3.1miles); last year, I did the 10K in 75min which was my goal (sure, I was hoping for less, but the mantra was “If I can’t do this in 75min, I may have to shoot myself.”).
