Y’all ain’t gonna believe this…

Out walking Saturday evening, ’round about twilight, and stepped on a rock, in a hole, on the gravel road to my house. Rolled the ankle. Severe sprain, much pain and swelling.

This ankle has been a problem for me since I was 18 yrs old, and in fact was a direct contributor to the end of my competitive running. I first rolled it while home from Vanderbilt for Thanksgiving, where I had a NROTC scholarship while running as a walk-on for the cross country team. So, that was over.

I suspect that was actually a broken ankle that went undiagnosed since I just went to a chiropractor for treatment. Anyway, I wound up with 3 more severe sprains and one diagnosed break of the same ankle over the next 10 yrs. I’ve been relatively un-clumsy for the last 15 yrs or so, until Saturday night.

Gloom, despair, and agony on me,
Deep dark depression, excessive misery,
If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all,
Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

Later today, I expect to be back with a few idea I have for some different hundred day head starts that will hopefully achieve the same goal. weight loss and fitness.
