Well thanks to all you lovely people who have been trying to cheer me up since my fall yesterday. After 2 1/2 hours in A&E I am home again with a Compression Boot and crutches. Rest and boot for 7-10 days and no sports for most of July at least. And to add insult to injury my Garmin watch strap broke just as I got back in the house.
I have fractured a little chip off the end of my outer ankle bone and sprained the surrounding ligaments. Well done me!!!
So now not only will I not be able to complete my Race at Your Pace 50 mile challenge I signed up for on Friday .... I will have to also postpone my birthday reflexology appointment ( my daughters birthday present to me). I just cannot face anyone else handling that foot at all.
What with my deceased back boiler and no hot water I could just curl up and cry. But instead I am going to look on the bright side..... I know I can get myself back to fitness - look how quickly I went from Couch to 10k!! and I’ve already overcome my wheezy lungs, my dodgy knee, flat feet etc to get this far so I can do it again. And in the meantime I am going to catch up on my knitting, TV, reading, playing with my cats, and resting.
I’ll be watching all your progress from the Couch though so keep it up everyone.

Oh no! That's miserable. Poor you. I hope the time passes quickly and that you heal well. In the meantime make the most of the enforced rest time. Lot of running reading and research, maybe some run shopping in readiness for your return ... and hopefully kind people waiting on your every need. Take care

Hi limberlou! Do you sing? Well if you do or even just want to have a change,you can down load The Voice app. This is an app that you sign up for free and sing loads of different songs in karaoke style. I have this app and it’s brill! Give it a look anyway 💐💐
