Last night I sprained my ankle just as I was starting my two mile run. I had gone around the corner and thought I should run on the sidewalk so I would not get hit by a car. Usually, i run at the YMCA (this makes it sound like I run often-I do not!). At the 1st driveway, I went up and rolled my ankle. Wow-the instant pain. Mark had planned on taking Quinten out for a quick errand. In getting up I realized I could not bear any weight. I started yelling for Mark and saw the car going very slowly right by me!!! My screams were heard by the neighbors inside their house ahead of Mark but not Mark!! They came across the field to help me when a stranger stopped his car and offered assistance. The stranger and his wife drove me back around the corner back to the house. What a blessing form complete strangers.
Poor Mark! he felt terrible that he drove without hearing me. Who looks for a wife lying on the ground? He was wonderful when they got home. Quinten was also so sweet wanting to comfort me. Today the ankle is swollen and tender but I can bear weight. It needs to be kept elevated, medicated and iced bu I can walk! The YMCA triathlon is about 2 months away so I need it to heal quickly. Lauren teased me that I should not be competitive and be training because it caused this accident!
