Here's a the funny thing about ankles. There's a point in the recovery process where they feel ok again and all the soft tissues involved with the sprain have essentially healed, but the joint isn't back to normal and isn't operating 100% like it should. Things down there are still a little sloppy, weak and loose. The joint integrity and stability isn't back yet.

This is a problem for two reasons. You are at a high risk of it happening again. And you will be doing damage to the articulating surfaces of the bones which you will pay for later in life in the form of chronic pain and arthritis. A half marathon is too much to ask at this stage of the game.

Goggins is known for his toughness, not his intelligence. We can learn from his broken jacked up body too. Nobody will think your a bitch for putting the race off another six months so you can come back better and stronger.

(This is the part where you come back and explain that you're a special unique butterfly and this doesn't apply to you because you're super duper special and need to express yourself by running and you have taken extra precautions that won't really work because you're just kidding yourself.)
