Dumb, dumb, dumb :-(
So, why am I up posting to the blog at 12:30 in the morning when we have the last Striders 10k for the year in just a few hours time? Because I did something dumb, that's why!
Riding to work on Thursday on TA's shiny flash bike (with its very sharp sprockets), I stumbled a bit while easing it over a gutter and drove the aforementioned sprocket into my ankle, opening up a nice big hole that needed 4 stiches to close it again. Damn, damn, bother and blast. Hrumph. I *like* running at Lane Cove, and this makes two races in a row there that I've been out of action. Hrumph again :-(
Still, the week was going well up to that point.
- I realised on Wednesday night that I'd done a marathon during the previous week (3x10k and 2x6k - I know that's not much for the gazelles, but it makes me happy) and
- Following on from my iffy reaction after the last two hard runs, I've increased my carbs a fair bit and it doesn't appear to have affected my weight. Now all I need is another hard run (and an ankle to do it on) and we can find out whether that's fixed it.

Complain away! I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle. I hope it heals quickly and you can get to test out your carb theory properly.
TA - how are your studies going? I hope you're getting on top of it and getting some sleep as well.
Ouch sfG, that must've hurt! Though at least is just a flesh wound (hopefully not a la Monty Python) and not something that's gonna put you out for weeks.
Ouch! So sorry to hear about your ankle Gnome. Hope you are back on the road very soon.
