An end to MY marathon training

Almost 2 weeks ago I fell while I was doing a nightly run. What was supposed to be a quick 6 mile run, turned into a 6 hr visit to the ER!

I was running down the street, 3 ½ miles in and BAM, I must have stepped on a rock, which caused my left ankle to roll out and me to fall on my right knee. I thought it was just an ankle injury until I pulled up my running pants (they didn’t even have a hole in them) and saw a gaping wound on my knee. A fellow jogger/good samaritan helped me back to my office building, where I was able to contact a coworker who took me to the ER. I left with crutches, a splint for my badly sprained ankle and 9 stitches in my knee. Again that was a sprained LEFT ankle and a stitched up RIGHT knee. I was a hobbling mess.

I just had my stitches removed and everything is healing nicely. My ankle is still a little tender and a little swollen, but all in all I’m on the mend.

No marathon for me, but the baby is OK and that’s MUCH more important!

ps - if you want to see a picture I'd be happy to send you one...
