planned on working today around noon so had to try and do this workout early. did my first repeat in a 1200m in 3:48 that felt a little uncomfortable at first but pretty easy by the third lap. got about 10 seconds into the recovery, but since it was still dark out i accidentally stepped inside the track and my left foot landed in the drain. heard a crunch and my immediate thought was "oh my god, i just broke my ankle". hopped a few steps on the other foot before falling down and spending a couple minutes pounding the ground and switching between praying aloud and letting fly every obscenity i know. i think i just sprained it badly. i don't know, man. i'll play it by ear, although i think if it were broken it'd be giving me more grief right now(not that it isn't, just not as much as i'd expect from something being broken)

Bro, that's a nightmare. Hopefully it's nothing. I really hope it's not a full high-ankle sprain, those are longer rehabs than breaks usually.

eh, guess we'll see. i think it was just an inversion though. i blame those damn hippies at nike for making racing shoes as tall as high heels! i should have worn my nike streaks, the spike plate be damned

the situationally funny part of this story is after a minute on the ground freaking out, i gingerly got back up and my first thought was "well those longer intervals are out the window, maybe i could just do some 400's at the same pace". it wasn't until i weighed the pros and cons and decided not to i remembered, oh yeah, my ankle hurts :)
