Tortoise and hare

Last Saturday, as some people on campus know, I sprained my ankle real bad. It's been healing ever since - I can put weight on it now - but I've still got some ways to go. I went to the health center on campus yesterday, and thankfully there isn't a fracture or anything, but it's still a bit of a nuisance. You never really realize how much you use certain parts of your body until you injure them. I've heard that this is especially true with your ribs.

So I walk with a limp now, at least until my foot's better. I have to keep it turned outward when I walk or else it feels tight and I can only take small steps; I'm a little worried that's going to have a lasting effect. I can't run either, because that puts too much pressure onto my ankle. That's especially annoying because for whatever reason I really enjoy running. 

I'm not sure why that is, but I like to run everywhere. I have a hard time making myself walk to places, even if I'm not in a hurry. I guess I get bored somewhere along the way and want to move a little faster. It's good exercise if nothing else. 

But I can't do that anymore until my ankle's healed up. Boo. Hopefully it doesn't take too long.
