It was my first race in 6 months, and also my first since my knee injury.
And there I go, stepping off a sidewalk as I turn around to make a snarky comment to my team. It wasn't even like it was one of the obstacles - just a sidewalk. My knee? It feels fantastic. Actually, it is pretty awesome that it came out unscathed. My ankle? Not so much. 
As my classmate proclaimed loud enough for the entire class to hear - "You have a CANKLE..." Gee - thanks.
I was back in not quite peak - but getting there running shape only to be twarted again by the running gods. Grrrr!
At least I already have a physical therapy appointment for this week. And I figure that I can just shove it in a ski boot and still hit the slopes (if it ever gets cold enough to snow - people were wearing shorts today - seriously?!?).
As I count down to my 30th, if this is what getting old entails... no thanks, I'll stick to my 20s.

Oh no, that is terrible! You poor thing!
Oh my gosh, you poor girl! Alternate ice & heat, take Advil if you can, pressure wrap, etc. Heal fast! (Lecture over.) :)
Oh Wow!! Ouchie ouchie ouchie!! Feel betters, pleez!!
Ahhhh! I gasped the second I saw it.
Youchie.
You know... running for no reason is unnatural. That's why God and nature are telling you to knock it off!
Tee hee. Just kidding. I wouldn't run if you chased me with a knife. I don't get it... but I hope it's better soon so you can do what you enjoy.
Oh noooo!!! That looks like my ankle this summer :( Ice ice ice and lots of NSAIDs!
Owwiee! That sucks.
I don't know if I'm sick in the head but when I'm hurt I'm happier when my injury looks really bad. If I have to be laid up I want it to be bloody, swollen or black and blue. At least then I get visual credit for my pain... hee hee! :)
your poor ankle!! Is it better now? Rest, Ice, Compression, elevation... I'm sure you know the drill :)
