Injury couch blues

OK so I was a bit smug. I thought my foot was better, turns out it wasn't. My last run was weeks ago and I've promised myself not to try again till January.

I suspect a stress fracture of the 5th metatarsal (mainly because I broke the left one a couple of years ago and the pain is exactly the same as when that was healing after the cast.)

Have a lovely Christmas, running chums, see you in 2019.

Ouch, I do hope it feels better very soon, and you have a wonderful Christmas and new year too :)

Oh LL what a shame, but you’re being sensible. Plus with all the upcoming festivities you’ll probably be so busy with those that you won’t have as much time to miss running (hopefully 🤞)

Rest up, have an amazing Christmas and here’s to a happy, healthy and injury-free 2019! 🎉🏃‍♀️🎄👍🍾🎈

Oh no! I suppose there is some consolation, in that this time of year is when everyone is a bit out of routine, but I hope you are well again soon!

That flipping IC can be hard to get off sometimes. Hopefully you can enjoy your Christmas and rest that poor foot, and we'll see you in 2019 (gulp!)
