I left just past six this morning for Ridgefield, home of the Ridgefield Playhouse (long heard of, never visited), and a trail race, which I hadn’t run in some time. The race, Where the Pavement Ends, is part of the Trail Mix series along with the Leatherman’s Loop, which I ran a few times before it started conflicting with the annual FIAF Congress every April.

This being a trail race, I inevitably twisted my ankle, unfortunately at mile 1, and had no choice but to run on it over the course of the next three miles. It ballooned as soon as I finished, and I drove home in a good deal of pain. Spent the rest of the day with my ankle propped up, and think twice about the next trail race.
