STUPID WINTER

Almost twisted my ankle at the end of my LSD today.... trying to avoid a stupid jerk driving his car way too close to me.

Ankle is now bruised...

Knee hurts A LOT...

Icing both.... stupid stupid winter.

Pity party line: WHY ME?!

ETA: My Dad ran his 2nd race yesterday, the tropical 5K in Miami. He had a PB with a time of 41:05, a little faster than in Montreal and considering he had a bronchitis for the last 2 weeks, a great performance! I am so proud of my Dad! I cannot wait till the day he's going to say, let's run a marathon together =)

I think next time you should join your dad in Miami for the 5km and get out of that icebox you call home!!

Congrats to your dad! Here is a super cool gift idea - marathon entry fee for something ~ 1 year away (if he has a bday or something coming up). The 2 of you can run it together!

ps - I will gladly help pace you to a 4:30, if you will cover my airfare back!! ;)

That's great! Not about your ankle (that's bad) but about your Dad. It would be great if my Dad took up running so we could do it together. I agree that you should run in Miami!

Good job, Dad!

Bummer about your close encounter with a car.

Congrats to your dad, and that sucks about your ankle! Take care!

Katie said...

Oh no! Yeah, Jack Frost seems to be getting on everyone's nerves. Get some rest -- hope your knee and ankle get to feeling better soon!

Oh, and cheers to your dad -- that's awesome!

Winter is so dangerous! Terrible footing and idiot drivers are not a good combo. I hope the ice helps.

Yay for Dad!!!

Unknown said...

that would be great to run with dad. Hope the ankle get better and I agree - STOOPID WINTER.

(((HUGS))) chica! Yes winter sucks!!

BeachRunner said...

Yay dad. Sorry about your ankle. Winter really bites it.

Laurel said...

I am so happy for your dad! I can't believe I wasn't there yesterday for the Marathon. It's the first time in three years I wasn't there for it. I miss all my Miami running buddies :(

That sucks about your ankle. Hopefully it's just a little bruise and will heal up soon. Stay off it for a few days and ice it up. Or in your case, just stand outside for 10 seconds in your arctic tundra weather and it should heal up quickly :)

Alexandra said...

Enough with winter already! I hope your ankle feels fine real quick! Speaking of quick...yeeha for your Dad!

Runner Leana said...

Ouch!! I hope you feel better soon! Fingers crossed this stupid winter is over soon.

Yay, congrats to dad!

Sorry to hear about the ankle. Take care of it and don't push too hard. I am always super impressed by your determination. Keep it up and the injuries will be a fading memory before long.

Isn't motivating family members to run great? I got my dad to run 1/2 of my 1st marathon with me and now we always talk running together. (he did not run at all previously) Do you guys ever run together? Sorry about your ankle... stupid cars!

Unknown said...

I know. I know. Like you, I hate winter so much. Congrats to your Dad for doing a phenomenal job.

I think that is so awesome for anyone to run with their dad or mom in any marathon!
