    Well I just got the call and my ankle is officially broken. I'm waiting to hear from the orthopedist about next steps.

    I'm so upset. I was just getting to know all of you in this group, and y'all were getting me even more excited about running. I had signed up for the dark side half marathon in April.

    The worst part is that I broke it by walking to the parking lot. I didn't even trip. Ugh. Sorry for the whining.

    Good luck to all of you in your goals for October. I'm coming back eventually.

    Oh I'm sorry to hear that! We welcome injured runners, so you are more than welcome to keep us updated on your progress.

    @lporter229 Well that sounds interesting though I’m not sure it sounds fun
    @7lenny7 I didn’t hear about the runner but of course I had to google it. I find it hard to believe it didn’t feel the breeze ha ha The best is really the faces on the people watching him go by
    Wow @navygrrl so sorry to hear that! You can still hang out with us even if you aren’t running. If it helps my daughter broke her leg (the growth plate) had surgery was in a cast for 7 weeks, in a boot for 2 weeks and less than 6 months later set her school record for 3 miles and a PR in a 5K. Never a problem or pain at all afterwards. Hang in there!
    @whatmerunning @elise4270 I lose my mind when Skip goes outside in her Swiftwicks with no shoes or worse tries to walk at meet with no shoes. No way for what I pay for them.

    @navygrrl - Ouch. I've had a stress fracture in my foot, and come back. It doesn't take forever, but while you're healing it feels like it's taking forever. Be patient, heal well, and come back completely. This is more important than coming back quickly.

    I'm in for 40 kms - I'm coming back from being sick for the last month so wanting to ease gently back in.

    @navygrrl - So sorry to hear about your injury. Don't give up though. Hanging out around here may keep you excited about coming back to running once you are all healed up.

    @lporter229 - What a fun relay - do you get samples along the way? BTW do you live near there? I spent 4 years in that area several years ago.

    @Runningmischka Teaching the labs, but still...

    10/4 Rest day: Morning yoga and walking 40 min before lunch, coaching youth XC in the evening but didn't do much there (though 4 of my 8-10 year old runners managed 2 consecutive 1K negative splits during a 3K course! I was really proud of them!).

    Goal: 75 mi
    Cumulative: 8 mi

    @navygrrl Oh, no, I'm so sorry you broke your ankle.

    I'm sure you feel like wallowing in self pity as I would. I hope you can find some comfort in coming back to update us. Throughout these threads along with the highs of achieving goals are many battles with injuries. I don't think there's a runner in here who hasn't had an injury to overcome.

    I'm in bed with a bad back at the moment and haven't run for 5 days but I've been reading this thread and running media to get better at running mentally.

    Injuries *kitten* suck, though.

    It's all part of what makes running such a temperamental but beloved mistress.

    @navygrrl I can sympathize to some extent... darned ankles - but do follow docs orders! My current benched time is due to an old ankle injury (sprained bad enough doc said a break would have been better) rearing its ugly head that I didn't have great advice on, and didn't really follow the limited advice I did get...
    if it makes you feel better my original issue was caused by what I generally call "failure at walking"... not stepping in a hole, not tripping, not running, not doing anything dumb... just failure at walking.

    but these folks are lovely and take care of us even when we aren't running... so please don't think you need to go away.
