I hope the IC is comfy!

[Oldgirlruns]

Could you shuffle up and let me join you on the IC please?! I’ve had a grumbly hip for a few weeks so haven’t done much running. I managed to get an appointment with a lovely physio and after much prodding and poking (ouch!) it was fortunately found to be not too serious. But it means no running until the next appointment in 3 weeks and if I’m very good about doing the exercises I’ve been given, I may be allowed to lace up the trainers again then! On the plus side it’s so nice to have something in the diary to look forward to! Happy running folks - I’ll be lurking here so no slacking while I’m gone!

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

I always feel better when I have a diagnosis and rehab plan to work with. 3 weeks will fly by 🙂

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

It will BC, and in the meantime I shall walk along the seafront instead!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

It’s great that you got to see someone for expert advice Oldgirlruns. It sounds like it was a very thorough check up, and you now have something positive to do to improve your strength in the week areas.

Enjoy those squats! And we’ll be checking on you to make sure you are looking forward. 🙄

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Forward and up!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Well OGR you’ve picked a good time of year to be on the IC I suppose. But even so, I bet you’ll be itching to get out after your 3 weeks is up. It’ll fly by! Happy exercising in the meantime. 🥰

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Had a walk along the beach this morning which is always good for the soul! And saw Dexy and UTS out running so that’s a bonus!

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Hope you get back to it in 3 weeks all the stronger! You might even benefit from the rest.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thank you Fionamags - I’m hoping for the best!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

You can have our space that we don’t need at the moment, I’ve left you some soft cushions to keep you cosy, hopefully you will soon be out there

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you - if it’s too cosy I may not want to move again!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Then you can join me on my non IC and we can get fat together, I don’t know why we are still finishing Christmas chocolates but we are Seriously though, heal well and you will soon be back out running gently along the seafront

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I hear you Sola - I’ve just finished the Christmas cake and that was after I gave half of it away to my neighbours! Glorious on our coast today wasn’t it? Happy running!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

It was beautiful, we are running tomorrow, car trouble stopped play today and Im planning on playing with zombies again lol

[LottieMW Ambassador]

You’ve picked the right time of year, I think for the IC ❄️🌧

Great that you have a plan and a timetable. You’ll soon be back running 🐌🐢🏃🏻‍♀️💪

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

Thanks Lottie!

[JonathanP Graduate10]

What a pain OGR! But at least you know what the issue is and what to do about it .

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

A pain it is JP! But yes, hopefully it will sort itself out over the next few weeks!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Oh my, so sorry to hear about your injury but really glad you've seen a physio. What a positive spin on your next meeting, like you I grab the smallest thing to add to the diary. I hope your time on the IC passes quickly and painlessly. Take care 🤗

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks Grannyhugs!

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

What a pain, but at least you got to see somebody who was able to give a proper diagnosis, and it doesn't sound too serious. Wish you a very speedy recovery and return from the IC. It might be comfy - but not so comfy you want to stay there for ages.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you Birdlady64! Yes, I must remember I’m only here temporarily and try not to get too used to it!

[RacingintheStreet Graduate10]

I’ve shuffled up to let you in 😂 I’ve just arrived ( calf strain on Tuesday 🤷🏼‍♀️😢) can’t say I like it here but nice to have your company .

Sorry, though, that the hip has sent you here and I hope it does heal quickly .

The weather is icy again so I wouldn’t be getting out anyway. Ironic that I was delaying my last run so I wouldn’t hurt myself with a fall and ended up here anyway 😂

These days I feel as though I should have a short recording of a ‘fanfare’ to play on the occasion of writing something on the calendar 😂😂

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Oh I’m so sorry you’re on the IC Racing! Calf strains are sneaky things aren’t they, one minute all is well and the next - ping! And you’re out of action again. It’s always nice to have company of course but I hope you’re off and running again soon! But not if it’s icy - the little piece of titanium on my wrist is testament to how horrible it can be!

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Hope your grumbly hip cheers up soon Oldgirlruns, I’ll do an extra few k’s just for you next time I venture out 👍

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Couchphoenix]

Thanks Cp - I appreciate it!

[nowster Graduate10]

You can have my spot. I plumped up the cushions before I left it on Monday. 🤪

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Thanks nowster!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Sorry about you being on the IC, however, with the weather being the way it is, snow forecast for your area on Sunday, hopefully by the time you are back running the temperature won't be so low, enjoy your walks.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you Alan - we’re hoping the call for snow tomorrow doesn’t come to anything!

[CaptFrey 60minGraduate]

I still visit the couch to rest up my other now ouchy knee so will bring orange drizzle cake as we exercise

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to CaptFrey]

Ooh lovely - though if I eat too much I’ll never get up from the couch!

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

Sorry to hear about your visit to the IC OGR enjoy the rest from running and enjoy the exercises in the warmth of your own home and 🤞by the time 3 weeks are up the weather will be warmer and your hip will have stopped grumbling.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Scruff55]

Thanks Scruff55, fingers crossed!

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

Ok, I ‘m shuffling up, here’s a warm place by the fire! 😄 ...I’m sorry to hear that OGR - but good to know that it’s not too serious & a “mending plan” is in place. Good luck with those exercises. Xxx

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

Thank you Elfe - it’s always nice to have company, though I hope our stays aren’t too long!

[Elfe5 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

🤞🏻🤞🏻😘

[linda9389 Graduate10]

Be diligent with those exercises OGR and hopefully you'll be healed and running in comfort again really, really soon.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Thank you Linda - yes, the exercises will be done!

[TailChaser Graduate10]

You’ll hopefully miss all this dodgy cold stuff too, and the days will be longer. It’s win win really 👍 Take care and heal soon xx

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]

Thank you TC!

[PandaCory Graduate10]

Can I join you too? This icy ground has absolutely destroyed my hip (the unsorted one - the bionic one is grand), and now I have an ortho appointment. I'm determined to get out for a run/shuffle/trundle tomorrow, but will need to be really cautious. Will be watching all of the posts here about actual running with interest (& envy 😫). Take care & I hope you're off the IC soon!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to PandaCory]

All are welcome PandaCory! Do be careful on that hip, especially if it’s icy out there!

[PandaCory Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Will do 👍🏻

[Bambi2020 Graduate10]

Hope that 3 week rest is all it takes and you’re back on the road soon 🏃‍♀️

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Bambi2020]

Thank you Bambi!

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate10]

so sorry to hear, but good you know exactly what the issue is. I'm sure 3 weeks will go really quickly. Hopefully the weather will be better by then too.Take care and we'll see you back on the circuit very soon!

🏃‍♀️😀

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Thank you H123! Yes, 3 weeks will fly I’m sure!

[Jericho2332 Graduate10]

Oh no! Get well soon!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Thank you Jericho, I’ll do my best!

[Hidden]

Oh OGR, that's rotten, but I'm glad you have managed to get some advice and have a plan of action. Fingers crossed that in three weeks time you WILL be lacing up those trainers and springing up off the IC. Enjoy your seaside walks 🤗

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you D-d! Yes, fingers firmly crossed but I have high hopes!
