First run in 2 weeks, first fall :( but first cool front! All good!

It's SO GOOD to be back out there! I had a skin cancer removed from my scalp 2 weeks ago and just got the sutures out yesterday. Wasn't allowed to run until the sutures were out. So off I went this morning and it was glorious! We've had a cool front here in Texas and the weather was only 61F (16C) which is MUCH cooler than I've ever run before! I'm used to running at 86-90F (30-32C) which is really miserable but unavoidable here. So I was loving the cool weather!

Unfortunately after about 4k I was looking down a cross street trying to decide on my route and I rolled my ankle from stepping half on/half off a curb. Ouch! Down I went! But the good news is I have a bad left ankle, REALLY bad, I've had xrays, MRIs, physical therapy etc, and luckily this was my right ankle! A turn of the left one would've put me out of business for a long time. Also, because of the cool weather for the first time EVER I had on some longer tights that went just past my knees instead of shorts, so I ended up with just a tiny little scrape on my knee. And the fall wasn't really that bad, the ankle didn't really hurt after maybe 2 minutes, I was able to get up almost immediately and walk (no more running though), so it's all good.

Sounds like an adventurous run! Glad to hear you are ok and hope everything recovers soon
