Rolled my ankle Tuesday morning which slowed me down for a bit.  The swelling and purple coloring went away quick with RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevate), and I was back out on the trail after only a day off.  I've got a trail half marathon with Tristin next Sunday which I'm looking forward to.  Only a few weeks left until Grindstone.
