Well I wasn’t running today as had grandchildren staying so decided to take them swimming. They were excited as it was their first time in the gym pool. All went well they enjoyed it and so did I. Very well behaved I got the girls into the shower and then went to get their shower gel/shampoo. Well while I wasn’t rushing I was getting cold and must have been going too quickly for the shower area and so down I went in slow motion but onto a tiled shower floor OUCH fortunately not too much damage although I think I will be sore and bruised in the morning. Right elbow is rather cut and bruised and my left hip is also aching nicely ( after all my care and attention to it. ) so I’m not sure I’ll make it out for my run tomorrow but I’ll maybe rest up to see what develops 😫😫😫

That is awful Scruff55, you will have to take things easy for the next few days, I would advise you to not run until any soreness goes.

We've all done it. I fell over on the beach once onto one of the groynes (totally my fault, I was very stupid). Bruised my hip badly 😣 Hope you're not too sore today 🤗

Ouch Scruff, I can picture your scenario as I also find the floor by the showers at the gym very slippy and I’m amazed there aren’t more mishaps.

I hope you aren’t too sore. 🤞

just bruised thankfully nothing broken and a very sore elbow with cuts on it from the shower screen I presume. Maybe won’t run till later in the week

Yes I’ll be taking it easy grandchildren are back with parents so I’ll go for a walk today instead of my run. I might flip a pancake for my youngest grandson if he comes round but that’s as adventurous as I’ll be today 🤣🤣🤣
