 Well...it happened.  Worst case scenario...I fell.  It was snowing for like 2 days, and I was being a trooper.  Got all geared up, put on my snow tracks that go over my shoes for grips and headed out.  First km was OK, but I was finding the vehicles were coming really close.  You couldn't see the lines in the road at all, and they were way over in the walk area.  There are no sidewalks where I was so I only had there, or the ditch.  I started getting more nervous when the ditch was almost indistinguishable from the road and vehicles were coming non stop so I decided to walk until I could get to a safer area.  I guess I went too far over, couldn't see that there was a drop down ditch and down I went.  My foot slid down, I went over it and the wrong way and heard a loud pop.  The pain was instant and extreme.  I lay there...trying to move and couldn't get up.  I started to try and get my phone to call the hubby, but I was shaking so bad from the pain, I couldn't seem to work my phone.  A lady yelled to see if I was OK, I said I wasn't.  She came over to try help me.  She didn't know what to do, but just her being there helped.  A cab driver stopped and said he would drive me wherever I needed to go.  The lady and the cab driver helped me into the van.  I thanked the lady so many times, and headed for home to access.  I finally got a hold of the hubby and that's when I broke down.  So embarrassed, I cried in this poor cabby's van, and tried to apologise.  He laughed and said it was OK, that I didn't need to apologise.  He helped me into my house where I cried harder as I tried to get my shoe off, and that's when I saw the softball shaped swelling on the side of my foot.  I was SURE it was broken. So off to the hospital I went with my hubby and sister.  After 4 hours and an xray, it wasn't broken, but I had tore all the ligaments in my ankle.  1-2 weeks of rest and physio is required.  Oh snap...this puts a HUGE dent in my plans.  I have to figure out how to exercise without using my foot.  As soon as I am able, I will start walking...I think the running will take longer.  I was so sad,  not only that I can't run, but that I can't work.  Christmas time and not working is terrible.  So this week hasn't been the best.  I am so close to the 220's too!!! UGH!  So this is where I am at.  I will continue to try.  Continue to work at it.  Onwards and downwards...hopefully downwards.  At least not upwards.  This is only a temporary set back...I refuse to give up! But I have definitely decided that I hate the snow! :)
