trail run. got lost driving there - panic.
good weather, I really enjoyed the run until mile 6 when I twisted my ankle hard on a nubby root. I was worried it was broken. It took me a fair amount of time to get moving again. Walked maybe 1/4 mile on it, then slowly started jogging on it. I was able to get my pace back on track eventually, but downhills I had to slow down big time. Grateful to finish, glad I improved my time over last year. My standings went down, but that's because more people showed up to run this year since it wasn't pouring rain.
I was feeling confident about not slipping in the rainy mud around mile 11-12 when I tripped over a root and went body surfing on the trail. Confidence needs to be kept in check on this run until you're safe in the car.
By Tuesday I was able to walk without pain. I'll be ready to go hiking with Terry Saturday :-)
