Unfortunately, about 10 minutes down the trail, I slipped on a wet root and turned my ankle pretty bad. After sitting on the side of the trail for a couple of minutes, I decided that I&#8217;d try to run it off. A few minutes later, the pain wasn&#8217;t subsiding, so I stopped to check it out. My ankle was starting to swell up. I decided to run along slowly, but that seemed to be worse. Before I could question as to whether or not I should continue, I turned the same ankle on a leaf-covered rock. At that point, I was hopping on one leg and cursing. I turned and began walking back to the car (about 2.5-3 miles). Soon, I decided to jog slowly (walking was just taking too long). It was painful, but tolerable.<\/p>\n<p>On the way home, the swelling and pain worsened. I was worried that it was broken, so I went to the minor med place to have it x-rayed. Two and a half hours later, I&#8217;m on crutches with an air cast- no break, but a lot of pain and swelling. I can&#8217;t put weight on it without severe pain and a very disturbing grinding\/popping feeling.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure what to do next. This month is really important to my training for the race season. If I can&#8217;t get back on my bike soon, it could negatively impact my early-season races. Hopefully I can heal quickly and get back on within a week.<\/p>\n<p>Pictures:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/front.jpg\" title=\"front.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/front.jpg\" alt=\"front.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/right-side.jpg\" title=\"right-side.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/right-side.jpg\" alt=\"right-side.jpg\" height=\"364\" width=\"483\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met up with the Warthogs today for a Swamp Stomper training run.
