On Tuesday I joined the Nitros for the weekly Flyover Repeats session. It was a deathly hot & humid day albeit with a little breeze but I was feeling pretty motivated and had targeted 8 repeats. For safety sake, we always run facing oncoming traffic and along the very edge of the flyover. At the end of my 3rd repeat, I landed on one of the reflecters placed along the sides of the road. Lost my balance, stumbled and almost (almost - but didn't) fell flat on my face. In that stumble and between trying to catch myself, I twisted my ankle good and proper. Ow.
Hobbled my bruised ego and twisted ankle across the road and slowly tested my ankle to check the extend of damage. It was a little painful but I could put weight on it. I slowly walked back to Haddows Park and after getting home iced it for a bit. Now, three days later, the swelling has subsided and its only painful to touch. I am super-glad that it wasn't any more serious than a bad twist. I am going to give it one more week before resuming running just to be on the safe side. But aaargh!! This is very annoying!
Ooh! News flash: My TCS 10K application got confirmed. I'm in! Off to Bangalore then!
