I made it out the door before sunrise for a beautiful morning. I ran
around downtown and then up City Creek beyond the end of the road were I lost
signal on my Garmin. I was heading back down, about a mile from the roads
end, really enjoying myself, when whamo! I crashed. Bummer! The
trail was a bit overgrown and I don't know if I hit a whole, a rock, a root, or
what, but I rolled my ankle pretty bad. It was about six miles gimp
running, hopping, walking, and hobbling to get back down to the canyon entrance
gate. At the gate I got a ride from a sympathetic runner (who is doing
the Slam for his 50th birthday) for the remaining 1.5 miles back to my
house.
My ankle and foot are swollen and "rainbowy," as my little boy
describes it. My self-diagnosis is no broken bones but a fairly bad
sprain. I'm RICEing as best I can. Hopefully I won't miss too much
training but this is going to take some time to heal and that will mean no
running on it. As of Monday morning I'm walking with a noticeable
limp.
Enough whining, I'm thankful it wasn't worse.

Thank you for the all the concern and well wishes.
My ankle is still purple and sore, but at least it is improving.

Lucky, rainbow is my favorite color.
From MarcE on Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 22:28:56 from 24.155.140.8
That stinks. Glad it is improving. Bummer, Fly. Does this put a damper on any upcoming races? Were you planning on Park City again this year?
From Teena on Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 22:59:16 from 67.177.20.13
Just checking in for an update.
How is the ankle?
From Smooth on Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 12:21:49 from 70.56.100.152
What color is the ankle now? Green? Is the soreness gone? Does it hurt to bear weight? Walking okay? Sorry for the million questions. Just checking on ya!
From Kathie on Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 13:16:44 from 207.155.176.10
Ditto Smooth!!!
From fly on the Wall on Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 13:16:56 from 168.179.215.242
The color and swelling are nearly gone. Still some pain but not bad. I just did the hop test, I can hop gingerly 3 times but don't dare hop very high without bunny ears. I just took 2 Ibuproen and I'm going to try an ez run today at lunch. I really hope it goes ok.
Thanks,
Fly
From Smooth on Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 13:21:58 from 70.56.100.152
Good luck on the lunch run. Stay cool! The bunny ears comment gives me giggles!
From Teena on Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 13:36:16 from 67.177.20.13
Can hardly wait to hear how it goes!! Take it easy.
