So, yesterday I went for my run. I got about 200m down the road from my house and rolled my ankle rather spectacularly in a pothole! I tried to carry on but about 5mins later I had to admit defeat. I limp-jogged home and got straight into the ice/heat rotation on my ankle and shin.
Today my ankle was a bit sore, but a lot better than last night. Got home early from work and went straight out on my 35 minute bike ride. The weather is shocking this afternoon, at one point it was raining so hard I could barely see 20m ahead of me!
I had amazing fun though, I ended up actually aiming for puddles trying to see how much of a splash I could make!
I did however find one downside to GoreTex trainers. They're fabulously great at keeping water out of shoes, but once the water is in them it's an entirely different ballgame! I had half of The Wash in them by the time I'd finished!
I even got some pictures to prove I went out and did it!
This is me looking rather soggy and tired, but pretty chuffed with myself (I don't always stick my tongue out at people taking pictures.....Okay, I do, but what the hell!)

This is the water being tipped out of one of my trainers!

Also, check out the awesome running gear! Fluro vest, bright blue top and camo shorts!! What a good look it is!
Off for a run tomorrow if my ankle will hold out, I'll write about what happens!
