Update...

I saw the doctor today. X-rays showed that nothing is broken, thank goodness. Doc classified it as a Grade 1 to 1 1/2 ankle sprain and gave me a velcro type brace (Rocketsoc) to wear during the day for the next couple of weeks. Kinda sucks -- it doesn't fit into most of my shoes, but could be a LOT worse.

I also have a list of exercises (with instructions/diagrams) to do every day to increase range of motion and strengthen it.

I can run (on flat surfaces) and bike as long as it feels ok to do so and I must wear the brace. That pretty much means that I'll be swapping my Speedplay X2s for platform pedals for awhile. (can't fit my braced foot into the road shoes -- I already tried!)

Does anybody know if Zefal Mini Toe Clips are still available? I have some on my MTB ( love em!) which I could relocate, but I wouldn't mind having a second set for the other bike.
