September was a tough one training wise. Sprained my ankle pretty bad during a Catamount 5K trail race. Was a couple days after Tropical Storm Irene took Vermont by surprise. I slipped running down a wet rock surface and stunt doubled into the woods, rolling on wet leaves, grabbing my ankle. The ankle swelled to a softball sized cankle, but luckily was just a sprain. Still, this meant taking a few weeks off which was a bummer. Had a couple days of rest in VT then flew across country for good friends, Kimmy & Chris' wedding in Mammoth where I posted up on Kelly's couch for a majority of weekend, ankle elevated... RICE method in full effect. Beautiful & FUN wedding!
From there I headed to Utah to visit my friend Tara, cut that trip short to fly back to VT for a Phish show.... had to.... was for VT flood relief... then back to Utah for some vaca time!... Here I felt much better and was able to run again, hike, hit the gym and even wake surf. All that flying caused some serious ankle swelling, but thankfully it's healing up nice.
Now on the up and up! Cram time before NYC!!
