Weekend in the lakes - no running for me but loosened off ankle gradually by trying to walk normally on it - swelling down a lot!
Saw steve birkenshaw on his 24hr peaks attempt and watched a bit of fell racing.
Spent the evenings in the pub where steve coogan was there playing piano! Good weekend :-)

Grindleford fell race - was going ok - not quite my usual flat pace but was staying with steph on the hill. The descent was awesome, just rocky enough to be tricky but still easy to fly down! Sods law on the one bit of non rocky flat track I went over on my left ankle - worst I've ever done an ankle (probably due to the speed I was going when it happened) had trouble putting any weight on it - started hobbling down with Hazel and a DPFR guy who was watching the race, then the mountain rescue appeared and wouldnt let me keep hobbling so I got the full stretcher treatment!
Damaged some ligaments and still can't put weight on it very easily so no running for at least a wk or so :-( boo
