The Dog Sprained My Ankle

I had a run-in with a loose, unleashed dog a couple days ago in metro Seattle Washington. I was there for a few things, primarily to get the Russian Visa taken care of. That's a whole different story. I was going to do a short trail run in the hills, but the trailhead was way overparked. I decided to just park about 2 miles away and maybe run to the trailhead on the rec paths. Here those paths zig and zag on the sidwalks.

 Passing a parked car a dog ran from the street and homed in on my legs. It spun around my feet and planted itself firmly between my legs and down I went. I rolled my left ankle really badly. Bad enough I couldn't stand. The owner asked if he could help. It was obvious he wasn't a surgeon. It was obvious he had no resources. I declined his offer and said I'd just crawl home. He shrugged and left.

Two days later it's pretty stiff and sore. It gives me a little trouble sleeping. But I'm hoping that I can start work on the Stairmaster Stepmill when I return to Utah in a couple days. In the meantime, it's tough eating for healing while not gaining weight and not training.
