Runner’s diary, Thursday

Five miles and I injured my ankle. Go figure. I was running along Schalks Crossing Road near the new senior development being built in South Brunswick when I stepped to my left to create a little more space between the oncoming traffic and poor little me. When I came down on my left foot, I must have hit a stone and rolled my ankle. I managed to finish off the run (I was at the four-and-a-quarter-mile mark). It’s not bad — I tried to ice it and I’m not limping — but I have no idea whether I’ll be able to run for a few days. Sheesh.
