Two weeks on, ankle ought to be better now. I'm sort of itching to go running again, but a walk on Sunday left me feeling a bit irritated on monday. Plus it was pissing rain, so I let it go. Did a bit more walking today and ankle seems to be holding but slightly irritated.
Injury is a great way to find out about your body. For instance, it appears that the ligaments are actually stronger than the bone, this means it's easier to pull off a chip of bone than to tear the ligament itself. This kind of makes sense since it's going to be easier to heal a partly torn bone fragment than for a severed ligament to knit itself back together.
So, anyway, probably will hold of from running for a few more days, but I don't wanna baby this ankle thing too much. 3 weeks is more than enough. It was a really stupid injury anyway.
Saw a cute girl with a taped ankle on the subway. Considered engaging her in mutual ankle sympathy talk but she got off on the next stop after I came in, so we shall never ever get to talk. C'est la vie. So it goes.
