After 36 hours of rest, ice, compression & elevation, plus various beverages, I decided I'd take the ankle I was limping while walking slowly on out for a short run.

Very sweet that Oriana was very motivated to run with me, to try to help me keep my streak alive - they both cried yesterday when my 2 mile streak ended (it's been going on for a significant chunk of their lives) - I hadn't realized how much they'd noticed - and they both wanted to help me at least keep the 20-minute-run streak alive.

So, I hobble-'ran' exploring parts of the large Barcelo Mayo property at night with Oriana, and for the first half at least, she got to be faster than daddy... :)

Event: UGLY MUDDER
 

Run at resort in Mexico. After ~7 minutes, running down a sandy slope, and looking backwards at Angelica, while wearing tall new shoes, I rolled my ankle on an embedded piece of rocky coral hidden in the sand. Ouuuucch. Egg sized swelling in 15 seconds. Tried to walk/jog it off, but within 10-15 minutes I had half-orange swelling and growing, so decided, esp. given I was in Mexico, to give up on the 2-miles streak and just RICE it at that point.
Ankle injured while being on vacation - on the negative side, I was less active with the kids for a few days - on the positive side, I could just read with my foot up in a hammock for two hours a day...

2 running miles a day streak ENDs at 812 days
20 running minutes a day streak CONTINUEs
