  • sprained ankle during training run :(

    From rust buckett@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 24 15:19:09 2020
    I'm so bummed. I was registered for an 8 mile trail race in Georgetown,
    TX for tomorrow and I completely jacked my my ankle while running on a
    local trail last weekend. I went to Urgent Care and got an x-ray. The
    doctor says there wasn't a fracture, but she said I still should stay
    off of it for at least 4 weeks. Fortunately, the race organizers giving
    me credit toward a future race, but I'm still super bummed about missing
    this one. Training was going pretty well, and then disaster. One wrong
    step. Oh well. My partner is still going to race and I get to volunteer.

    Have fun out there and watch your step. :)

    Sorry to hear that. A friend of mine recently had something similar, a
    broken bone just above the ankle. And all he was doing was walking on
    wet grass!

    SO yes, be careful out there as you enjoy your run.

    I've been back to work for a little over a week now and the ankle seems
    to be doing pretty well. Still have a couple of weeks before I can do
    much training though. Sticking to calisthenics and yoga for recovery.
    Crazy how that one second changes so much.
