cherryI am the most clever snowflake ever some days. Seriously. Through a series of events that don't need exploring at this juncture, involving messed up brakes, a flat tire, and a missed handing off of a tire pump, I became separated from my bicycle.
As such, walking to my place of employment to obtain said bicycle and tire pump (so that said bicycle could be walked, rather than carried, to the repair place) became necessary.
'Man,' I said to myself as I trudged along. 'Walking takes far too much time. I think I'll run.'
'Much better,' I said to myself as I ran, and promptly turned my ankle on some loose brick work.
Three x-rays and 28 hours later, it has been confirmed that my ankle is not, in fact, broken. It is merely inconveniently and impressively sprained.
It should be noted that it could be much worse. Unfortunately, this is my good ankle. The other one ended up pretty destroyed in a softball-related incident a few years back.
This is so incredibly, bloody, inconvenient. Cycling is out for two - three weeks, I'm not allowed to run for at least a month, and any weights that involved my feet/ankles are out for even longer. As biking/running/walking are my main modes of transportation, and I often work out to amuse myself, it appears I am going to have to take up polluting as both a method of transportation and as a hobby.
