Pink is feeling BLUE...

On Monday of this week, as I was completing an awesome workout focused on weights and core exercises, I fell and twisted my ankle. As I was going down, I heard and felt a distinct "snap". Laying on the ground, trying to get up - I realized my knee was HURTING!!! Left ankle, right knee... turns out that the ankle is fractured in two spots and the knee is badly twisted. So, what does the orthopedic say when I tell him I'm training for a triathlon?? "Oh no you're not!!" I'm to sit on my couch with my legs up for the next three weeks (while my children turn into beasts and rule the house???) Training is supposedly out for 8 weeks, but I'll get a review in 3 weeks. Needless to say, I'm beyond frustrated. But, at this point - I am not giving up!! I'll see what they say and see what I might be able to do in the remaining time. Let's hope I can train again soon.
