Break.

[Hareshaw-Granny]

Unfortunately will not be running for the next two weeks. Not even a running related issue which is a frustration. Stubbed my toe 5 weeks ago and didn’t realise that it had actually fractured. Anyway this has now caused a problem with my cuboid bone and have been told to rest and repair!!! ☹️😥. However will keep reading all your posts to cheer me up☺️👍. Take care and enjoy your running🏃‍♀️.

Do we need a bigger Injury Couch? 😉

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Let’s hope not! This is going to be so hard, don’t know how I’ll manage 2 weeks without running. Think cycling and swimming will be my saving grace.👍

[Blueboy5050 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Sorry to hear your plight, sometimes a good rest is what we need, time to pamper your muscles. New stretch routine perhaps. Squats watching tv, just because we can’t run, doesn’t have to mean we can’t still be in the running 🏃‍♀️ get well soon

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Blueboy5050]

Thanks Blueboy, hopefully my intention. Completed a 14k cycle this morning with my wee sis. Feels ok so far.👍

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Hopefully with the rest from running you'll be fine . I see you like cycling and swimming so the time will fly by. Good luck 😊🤞

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks Buddy34😄

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Oh what a nuisance! Hopefully your cycling and swimming will see you through the next couple of weeks until you’re fit to run again,

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Jools, hope I can last 2 weeks!!!

[FloofyBoots in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Whatever you do don't set back your recovery by going back too soon. You will be so annoyed with yourself if you have to start a new 2-week rest period, or longer !

It's frustrating but at least it is a minor injury. 2 weeks is better than 2 months... let it heal.

💗

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to FloofyBoots]

It is difficult but will follow advice and be careful re other exercise too. Thank you.😄

[Hidden]

Ooooooh you were brave!! Here's hoping for a comfortable recovery and you can get back on the horse again!

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks GTFC will have to try an keep moving carefully😱.

[MoliJ Graduate10]

Hope you get better soon xxx

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to MoliJ]

Thank you v much, will just need to be patient. Not one of my greatest virtues!

[MoliJ Graduate10 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Snap, but with injuries we have to be if we are to get back to running 🏃🏻‍♀️ quickly 🤗

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Oh no - what a shame! Sounds painful... Take care and you will be all the better for the rest and recharge!

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thankyou Fionamags, certainly hope so, it will be a long two weeks.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Ooh that’s such a shame HG - but you know it’s the only thing you can do! If you’re able to swim or cycle instead that’ll give you a different view from the IC! Heal soon!

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Aw thankyou, my sister has already 'persuaded' me to go for a cycle in the morning 🚴‍♀️👍

[Comfortnotspeed Graduate10]

Ouch 😓 sorry about that. Hope that you can still get some gentle activity in. 🌸😊🌸

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Certainly will. Need to fill the two weeks running void with some alternatives .🚴‍♀️🏊‍♀️👍

[Comfortnotspeed Graduate10 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Good plan 👍

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Oh no !

So sorry to hear this ☹️

Very frustrating but nothing else you can do other than take the time to mend !

Hope you recover soon 🤞

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Will try and do what I'm told, but doesn't come easy to me 🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

I know the feeling, but 2 weeks is doable 😁

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

🤞🤞

[SJ44]

lots of luck for a quick recovery!

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to SJ44]

Thanks and fingers crossed.🤞

[Dannybhoy625 60minGraduate]

Ooft... Sounds painful! Hope you are better soon 👍

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Dannybhoy625]

Thank you so much, unfortunately I don’t make a very good patient!

[Dannybhoy625 60minGraduate in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

😂😂😂Won't be long until you're fighting fit again!

[Queenie17 Graduate10]

Similar thing happened to me couple of months back,sooo frustrating. Wishing you a speedy recovery👍

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Queenie17]

Thank you. Have to say I have bashed my toe on various occasions but never done this much damage. Such is life and luck.

[Lifluf Graduate10]

Sorry to hear about your injury. Don't worry I'm sure you'll soon be back.

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Lifluf]

Thanks, will give the rest my best shot and be back fit and raring to go.😄

[nowster Graduate10]

Back in 2012 I was in Northern Scotland on holiday. I bent back a toe on my left foot walking (and tripping) on thick carpet in the hotel at John O'Groats and stubbed the little toe on my right foot on a rock at a waterfall. You have my sympathies.

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Oh boy, that’s a belter x 2. My little right toe looked exactly like yours😱.

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Oh no! What a bummer!

At least you have your cycling and swimming to occupy yourself with for the next couple of weeks

Hope you're back on your feet - or toes😁- soon

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

I’m not quite computer literate and the reply below Willow and Sola is for you🤣🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Oh no, that must be painful, several of us on this injury couch, hopefully you time will pass quickly with cycling, heal well and you will soon be back out there

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks W and S just trying to keep busy and hopefully the time will pass quicker 🤞🤞

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10]

Thanks so much, had a great cycle with my wee sis this morning, and planning a wild swim tomorrow! Got to keep busy and fit 🚴‍♀️🏊‍♀️😁👍

[Birdlady64 Graduate10 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Fantastic - enjoy your swim 🏊😁

[CBDB Graduate10]

Oh no!! Wishing you a fast recovery!

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Thanks CBDB not fast enough for me.

[CaptFrey 60minGraduate]

Ouch

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to CaptFrey]

Ouch indeed! Hopefully 2 weeks will sort it all out.😄
