Forced Break

I was slowly getting myself into some decent shape again over the last few weeks. But yesterday during a trail run near work I went over on my ankle and knew instanly it wasnt the normal mild sprain. I heard a load snapping sound and looked down to see an egg instantly appear above my left ankle bone. Not a good senario seeing i had been running for about 38min and 28 were through the bush.
I eventually stumbled out of the bush in a heap of pain via another track and borrowed a phone from a tradesman nearby to call for back up.
A couple of hours later an x-ray showed a fracture of the ankle. The ankle is enormous and extremely painful. So i guess ill be out of action for a while.

No good Tim. Hope the ankle heals well and you can get back running soon. Cheers.

Tim - hadn't realised you were training so this was a bit of a shock. Hope you recover soon. I'm sure the enforced break will do you good in any case.
