I'm so p*ssed @ myself right now! I went out for a run this morning. -25C, beautiful sunny morning. I was doing a pretty good time (low 10s), which should have been an indicator. :huh: Instead of doing short fast strides, I was actually running with some pretty long ones, which is not a good idea with the road conditions that we're having around here, and that's exactly what I told myself about 2 minutes earlier. :noway: I was getting ready to cross the road, the sidewalk was ending, there was a car on my right, I turn around, without slowing down enough, and yes, I twisted my ankle when I put my feet on a patch of ice. :sad: Man was I mad! :mad: :explode: :grumble: :devil: Mad for doing such a rookie mistake, when I've been running for 3 years during the winter, but mostly mad because somebody saw me!! :blushing: :sad: :huh: Wow! What a hard hit to the pride! It's like falling face down for me! The guy in the car roll his window down and ask me if I was alright and my answer was "I better be!". :grumble: That was rude, but I was SOOOO mad. I told him "Sorry sir. I'm just very mad at myself right now, but thank you. I'll be alright." Anyway. So I walked for about 2-3 minutes to see how it felt. :sick: I finally ran the mile back instead of walking it. I'm not limping or anything but my ankle is pretty swollen already. It's actually taking an ice bath... I guess I'll have to take an appointment for it. :noway: :grumble: :explode:

And that means that my weight training (leg day) won't happen this morning! I was so looking forward to it. :sad:


So I'm adding a pathetic 2 mile run this morning plus 4 walking miles for yesterday. :indifferent:
