Comments:
Not really what I expected when I woke up today. My knee/ankle didn't bother me too much during the warmup, so I was feeling pretty confident. Then we did the first interval mile, which felt good, quickish, something I could handle. Then, shortly after starting the 2nd mile, I turned my ankle. Again. It didn't feel too bad initially, so I tried to keep going, but after a few steps, it was pretty clear that wasn't going to happen. Luckily, Coach was there in the van to pick me up, and keep me from having to walk back to the gazebo.

After some talking, we decided that since I haven't been able to get my injuries healed, my competing season at least, is pretty much finished. I'll keep working out, rehabbing, and being a member of the team, but competition just isn't going to be something I'll be able to do this season. On the other hand, it looks like I'm going to be the manager, which means I'll be helping out Coach/the team wherever I can. I'll also get to travel to all of the big meets. I'd have preferred to make it to them on my own merit, but considering that I wouldn't be able to go otherwise, I'll take it, and make the best of the situation.
