FALLING TO PIECES

I feel so discouraged.

There I was, trucking right along, 4 miles were behind me and I had intended on hitting at least 5. Suddenly, the left side of my left ankle began to hurt. Of course I kept running. Just run through it, I kept telling myself. Just run through it. But that ankle kept right on hurting. By the time I hit 5 miles I HAD to stop, for I could no longer run.

I have no idea what I did to the damned ankle.

I hobbled to the shower and while getting dressed and have since returned to my desk. Now I can barely walk. It's not very swollen at the moment, but it hurts like hell if I try to walk at all. I'm using a Zip-Loc baggie (from my lunch) as an ice pack, which I put on the ankle intermittently. Not sure how long to do this, or even if it will help. I also popped 3 ibuprofen.

What is happening to me???????? Is my body going to completely fall apart? This is depressing and discouraging. As soon as one problem improves (knees) another starts up (ankle). I don't know what to do....But if I'm unable to run I'll just die.
