Running 18:09 [1] 2.17 mi (8:22 / mi)
I think it's ok to try running. Ankle isn't having any sharp pain in everyday getting around anymore, which is pretty great. Also can do much more extensive ankle circles than I could about a week ago. I'd say ankle circles are at 1/2 full radius, as opposed to <1/4 a week ago.
And the break of ankle? Based on what bones were reported to be involved in the X-ray, what they called a fracture is more likely from a past injury, when I bashed my ankle bones together during my awesome relay leg in WOC Switzerland. There's extra bone growth there, which makes sense given a lot of things. So operating under the tentative hypothesis that there was no new fracture in my ankle with this sprain, just a pretty awful sprain.

Core.
Hmph. They replaced my really old oil furnace with a gas one over the summer, but it doesn't seem to want to turn on. Back to the electric heater for a smidge...

Strength 2:30 [1]
Pushups - 3 x 5 real, 15 on knees
Heard all about the Rosetta mission to Comet 67P from Joel Parker (SWRI) at Toledo's colloquium in the evening. Most notable things:
1) Rosetta had the largest area of solar panels of any spacecraft to date.
2) Rosetta was picked up as a dangerous near-Earth object on one of it's flybys of Earth, boosting out to Comet 67P.
3) All those crater-looking things on the comet aren't actually craters, they are sinkholes as volatiles underneath the surface evaporate and surface caves in.
4) Deuterium to hydrogen ratio is very different than the other 2 Jupiter-family comets that have been characterized. Soooo - not uniform origin for these comets? (Hypothesis has been they all came from Kuiper belt.)

Note
The plan. What am I doing? Kinda feel at a loss from having a really distinct goal (run my first marathon!) to being injured and without any sure thing to be training for.
But that's actually ok, it means I have nothing to rush the healing of this ankle for. It's feeling better without running on it like I tried last week, and really it's got to be healing. But it is slow and I'm sure will be very weak for quite some time after 4-6 weeks of essentially no running.
To try to not go completely insane, I'm going to alternate core and push-up workouts for this week, while I'm traveling. Then next week, I'll start swimming at the Reed pool (with leg buoy, if ankle flexion is painful still). Hopefully I can then start biking without pain + swelling afterwards and later on, to running. Main goal of the immediate future is just to stay happy by getting some endorphins in and let this silly ankle heal!!
Will fixate on some other competitive goal when it seems appropriate.
