Injured

There's nothing more disheartening than to trip over a stone at 1.65km of your run and to sprain your ankle.

Yep, it was real sprain, because I cried out loud when my left foot landed at an odd angle.

In my heart, I went, "NooOoOoOoooooo~"

I want to cry in the inside, but as we hobbled back, we started brainstorming on how I was going to work out for the rest of the week while my ankle recovers.

Gym. I hate gym but looks like I'll be hogging the rowing machine and the stationary bicycle? I end that statement with a question mark because I'm not sure - I really find gym a bore!

And I don't enjoy swimming because I find it very tiring. Yep, I'm a horrible swimmer. But when injured, what else can I do?

Not only that, I'll need to be strict with my diet too, due to the lack of exercise.

*sobs*

2 weeks to Bareno and my hopes of doing a better time seems so unlikely right now.

Just yesterday while running with Lynn, she was telling me how women's ankles are just so bloody fragile and weak. Something like that.

*big sigh*

  2. steph: will do, although not being able to work out is rather difficult. does that mean i'll have to reduce my food intake, so as to not gain weight? hehe.

    zErOiCe: ahhh, let's see if my ankle is OK by next week. i can't imagine doing the run without training for the next 10 days. eeks.
