Sprained ankle, can't run, need cheering up :(

I've entered my first half marathon in early May but a few days ago I went out for a run, felt a twinge in my ankle that didn't go away afterwards, and ever since it's been sore and a bit swollen - appears to be a sprain (I didn't obviously twist it or fall, so not quite sure how it happened)

I know i have no choice but to rest it but am feeling so fed up and I saw on some website it can be several weeks before I should run again.... which wouldn't leave me enough time to prepare for the race.

Feeling a bit sorry for myself :( any tips on how to recover quickly? How long might it take?

sounds like a fairly mild sprain, see how it feels, might not take too long

you could do some other cardio for a while to keep your fitness levels up
