Really Grumpy Tortoise ... 🐢

[Granspeed]

Isn’t it just the way? Not only is our Spanish holiday falling victim to the evil virus, but I’ve got a bad foot too! 😨 Mystery lump under my arch which is stiff and sore if touched. Whatever it is, No Running. Argh. Grrrr. Grump. Stamp (but only with the left foot.) And double humph. ☹️

You poor thing, we look forward to holidays then feel bad if something stops them happening

Lump under foot? that sounds nasty and whatever you do don’t stamp that foot, i would stamp with you but (sighs) my feet are rotten at the moment so i will wriggle up a bit to make way on this couch for you

💕 Thanks. It’s definitely IC for the weekend and if not better, check with the professionals next week. And no VRWC run tomorrow. ☹️

Eeeeeeeeeeek it sounds so sore😕

What has Dr Google said it is

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haven’t tried that yet, thanks. I have self-diagnosed “old foot syndrome” so will give Time a little chance first, followed by a physio. 😳

[Hidden in reply to Granspeed]

Yikes

Sorry to hear that Granspeed, not surprised you are feeling grumpy. I would book an appointment with your gp sooner rather than later, it's likely to get harder and harder to get medical appointments quickly with this corona virus situation. You could always cancel it if it settles down all by itself.

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Debston]

Thanks for the thought. I have a regular physio, so I’m headed there first. Think my funny foot will be low down our GP’s list of priorities at the moment! 🤔

[Wenderwoo]

Oh no! Sorry to hear this - I hope it settles down over the weekend

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Wenderwoo]

Me too, thanks. IC seems to be getting a general workout this year! ☹️

Oh dear, sorry to hear about your foot - sounds painful 😕

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

Not too bad yet, but hoping to keep it that way. 🤞🏻

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Ouch, hope that sorts itself out soon. I guess nobody’s flying off on any holidays just now 🤔 stay safe 🤗

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks. In the great scheme of things, it’s not a calamity, but very disappointing nonetheless.

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Oh no Granspeed , what a bummer. A warm holiday is just what you need after this winter of wet and windy weather. We certainly planned our ski holiday well, as I’ve just heard that you can’t share chairlifts with strangers now - the queues will be horrendous. No hot food in restaurants, probably not be able to get in to USA from next week.

Sorry to hear about your foot too - but come and join me on the IC and we can have a good old natter. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Getting crowded on that couch, so I’m glad it’s big & comfy. 😊 Guess you are safely home now - good planning! Hope your knee is improving. 👍💕

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Thank you Granspeed, in 2 weeks I’ll at the physio doing exercises to get back to running ASAP.

[MartinKH Graduate10]

Sorry to hear about your holiday, and your foot.

Hope you recover soon, and happy running when you do.

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to MartinKH]

Thanks. It’s lovely to have this forum where folks understand that a bad foot really is a Problem, if not exactly a Crisis. 🤣🤣

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Sorry to hear that - hope it's not too serious......

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Thanks. As my friend used to say, “From your lips to the ear of the Gods!” It’s better tonight, so I’m less grumpy, but still lurking, so no long run tomorrow for sure. I’ve just been reading tales of injuries 😨 so am going to be ultra-sensible, however hard. 🤔👍😇

[JonathanP Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Yes 'better safe than sorry' is definitely wise!

[HobbitRob]

Sorry to hear about your foot, hope it gets better soon!

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to HobbitRob]

Thanks. Will need to be nimble to skip away from viruses. 🤣 Seriously, I’m giving it a couple of days & then I’ll let the physio loose. Don’t want it to last. 😨
