Post tumble run #1

[Sybilw]

I say that because my next run will still be a post tumble run! Oops. I’m tourist running in Moffat but know the options and made good choices (dropped kerb ✅ avoid icy 🍁 ✅ slow pace ✅) but avoid admiring the view on a riverside path ❌. I’m tempted to say it doesn’t count as no one saw it but suffice to say my hand will take an extra dat to heal and me skinned knee now has a bruised friend. I walked back planning to go straight to the shower and not mention it to OH but he kindle opened the door for me and saw my muddy knees. Rumbled!! 😆. Ok I’ll try harder next time.

Ooh Sybilw, have you thought about putting those protectors on you knees like skateboarders? 😂😂

Take care on your next run my lovely.

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

🤣🤣🤣 my OH is full of similar suggestions!! The best one is just to wear gloves. Aldi had running stuff on sale on Sunday and I’d actually planned to buy some but we’re away. Home today so 🤞🏻 they’ve some left!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Definitely need gloves on a cold day like today 🧤🧤

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I got some only to realise they’re xl! Shame.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

A gift for OH? 😊

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Keep him warm on the 🛋!!

Oh dear poor you. I hope this isn't bad luck coming in 3s . Safe running

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I hope so too! It’s not difficult to fix - just lift my 🦶!! 😆

I was in decathlon earlier and walked past the protective gear for MMA... some very reasonable prices too if you’re interested 🤣

Well done getting back out there... and here’s to Post tumble run #1 marque 2!

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

🤣🤣🤣🤣. It’s good to laugh. I’ll be back out but hopefully better technique!!

[Franglaise Graduate10]

Poor you...hazard of the sport...speedy recovery

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Franglaise]

Thank you. I’ve no one to blame but myself!

[Lizzisforliving Graduate10]

Hope you don’t feel too sore in the morning. Xxx

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Lizzisforliving]

Thank you. As expected the worst casualty was my pride!

[Granspeed Graduate10]

Carry a pillow? 🤣 But you sound more cheerful and confident today, so I do hope that’s a good sign and there will be no extra bruises tomorrow. 💕

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

It hasn’t put me off - it was a beautiful place to trip! I’m travelling home today so will stick to the paths around fields for the next few runs until I learn to actually lift my feet (I didn’t trip over a boulder!! 😆). I’ve loved all the very “helpful” responses from my VRBs - I knew I had your support! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

I think all of us who run in fields or on paths have a very fellow-feeling about this thread, Sybilw. 👍 I can’t be the only one thinking, “There, but for luck, go I!” 🤣

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Can’t understand how I got away with it for so long tbf!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Hey Sybilw! 🤗 You know we experience many tumbles in life, but if you can get back up and keep going, that just shows how amazing you truly are!! So take a breath and congratulate yourself for being unstoppable. That’s how I see you! The obstacles will give up! 😉 🤗❤️

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Just a funny but literal bump on my journey!! 😆

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

And healing up nicely I hope! 🤗❤️

[Chris141 Graduate10]

Well glad to see you want to get back out there again. Take it easy and be careful! Not had that obstacle yet thank goodness!

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Chris141]

Thank you. Just going through a lazy phase apparently. Never had problems before either. 🤞🏻

[Run46 Graduate10]

Oh poor you...but what a great sense of humour you have about it! Glad it wasn't anything more serious than a little tumble, sent to make you take more care 😉🤞

[Sybilw Graduate10]

You have to laugh because everyone does when you tell them! 😆 OH has visions of a puff of dust and a shower of autumn leaves. Sadly the reality was less comedic!! 🤣
