Folliegirl is fed up :(

[Folliegirl]

I have been laid up with my leg elevated for 9 days!! On Saturday 3rd Jan I set off on my second run of 2015, having logged 206 miles from June to December. I chose the 'Speed' podcast to burn off some Christmas calories .... Unfortunately whilst running full pelt downhill I badly twisted my ankle and had to be rescued.

Today I managed to get socks and shoes on and ventured outside, the rest of my body is LONGING to run... Might be a couple of weeks yet

Looks like a corker of a bruise, don't be too impatient to get back to running, the last thing that you want to do is cause further damage. How about some gentle yoga exercises to keep the muscles flexible.

Trying hard to be sensible, logically I know slow and steady recovery will be best ... But I am so impatient!!!!

Just take it easy, yeah, and give your body a chance to heal. Hope you'll be back in the running game soon

[Folliegirl Graduate in reply to Tomas]

Thank you ... Must also ignore all the chocolate in the house!!

[AncientMum Graduate]

Ouch!! Now that looks sore! Well they do say patience is a virtue, so guess you're going to have to be virtuous for a while yet

On the up side, I've read 4 books and rediscovered a love of puzzling ... Kris kross is my new friend!!

What's that song? Always look on the bright side of life, de deh de de de de de deh

[Folliegirl Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Exactly... Glass half full here

Hope it feels better soon, looks painful! Good that you are back on your feet at least...............

[Folliegirl Graduate in reply to aliboo70]

I know and I've been counting my blessings, I could so easily have ended up in the road and been run over, so it could have been a lot worse!!!

Ouchy! I feel for you Folliegirl, I hope you get back to running soon x

[Folliegirl Graduate in reply to no-excuse]

Thank you, simply longing to run, although to be fair I'll settle for pain-free movement to start with ... Well for this week anyway
