I was running merrily along when I came across some uneven ground and twisted my ankle.

So this happened.

I don’t even want to post the results of that horrible run. My ankle seems ok, considering. My knee hurts though.

I’m such an idiot. My husband went to run a 5K today and I  was lazy and waited around at home sluggishly doing chores. I decided at the last minute to head out for a run and it turned out to be a pretty good one. I’d have probably placed in my age group.
