I rescheduled the dentist, I did not think she would appreciate my "addition" to the appointment when she made me bite that medicated thing. And the urgent care folks put me in a splint and told me to use a cane for a few days. Apparently I managed to give myself a bad sprain. Not exactly sure when, possibly last week. I think I may have twisted my ankle when I was out for a walk. Problem is I don't feel any pain when I twist my ankle so I can't be certain as to when I actually did it. And the weekends Yard work just made things worse.




Thanks

Well the ankle is a bad sprain and still waiting for results from the blood work. But I will admit I am feeling a bit better knowing the ankle is not broken

Good call rescheduling. And youch, hope your ankle heals up. I also have a sprained ankle, but this was from a tournament 4 weeks ago, still hasn't healed!

At least we won't have to do this one.

Yikes... do people ever get sick/bad colds after the Tough Mudder events? I wonder how the body can take the extremeness of the full runs! I guess people train for it, and gradings can be same-same but different..

You'd be surprised. While there are definitely some fine athletes there, I'm not among them (I can't run 10 miles without stopping - not even close, let alone with all the added obstacles). And I'm far from the least fit person participating.

Ah yep, I was a bit of a wreck at times yesterday, emotional about leaving, but I'm sure we both know it was for the best and out of a certainty in our decision

Loved the few people still left from when I started, hated what the place had become.
Not missing it.

I actually usually get a nice buzz from these things. And that's saying something - my immune system is rotten and I am not athletic by any stretch. Something about all that adrenaline and endorphins I guess. @gpseymour got me into this. I did my first Warrior Dash while recovering from a summer flu. DURING the dash I thought I was going to die - but once I was done, it was the greatest feeling in the world.

Thank you, taking some time to really relax, meditate and eat cookies.

That is a fabulous plan. Perfect.

 

[AngryHobbit]

The added obstacles are less to your liking.

It's those damn walls. And... tall things...

Hopefully your ankle heals soon.

I'm basically just wearing a splint as walking with a cane for a bit

Yep, that's exactly the same here

Awesome to hear man

Let's just hope I don't turn into one of those obnoxious ex smokers who seems to only have the goal of making current smokers lives a misery

Oh, c'mon, you should get some fun out of this process!

People! Stop breaking yourselves! You've only got one body for the duration of your life - treat it nicely.

Meh. I'm counting on scientists to come up with better spare parts soon. That's my entire plan.

And how is that working out for you?

They're lagging behind expectations. Slackers.

How frightfully inconvenient for you. You know... I am certain if you did a little bit of POUND or Zumba occasionally, you'd feel a lot better about all this.

I find it hard to believe that POUND or Zumba could make anything better

The only way to establish one way or the other beyond reasonable doubt is to try it.

Pretty much any doubt about Zumba or POUND is reasonable.
