Well Hell.....

Just when I was thinking I was getting a handle on my recovery - sleeping more, eating better... I sprained my right ankle.  I was riding my motorcycle into my garage and caught the toe of my boot on a concrete lip on the entrance to the garage.  As I rolled forward it pulled my foot down (heel on the footpeg) and hyperextended my ankle.  It didn't hurt much then, but it sure hurts now.  I iced it almost immediately to prevent swelling so hopefully I will be running again later in the week.   I am hoping to get 4 good long runs in over the next 6 weeks to be ready for the Poulsbo marathon October 16 so I was planning to do 11 today.  Oh well - pleny of R.I.C.E  and ibuprofen and I should be running by Wednesday or Thursday and doing my 11+ on Sunday...
