Major Setback

I’m major bummed right now.  I’m sitting on a recliner, with my left foot wrapped in an ace bandage, propped up on a pillow.  I have crutches sitting close by.  Last night I stepped off a curb and fell.  My left ankle hurt badly and I skinned my right knee.  Klutz should be my middle name!!!

This morning it was x-rayed.  The doctor said it is sprained.  He is not sure I’m going to be able to run the marathon next Sunday.  I have been ordered to put no weight on it for the next few days.  I’m thankful there is no break. On the other hand, I’m extremely upset that all the time and effort I put into training might not culminate into crossing the finish line and having a medal hanging around my neck.
