Who said that running was good for you?

[Jonny1]

Went for my 5am run this morning and forgot my head torch. Never mind, let know the route with my eyes shut! Well, a car was coming towards me with full beam on and blinded me, when there was a kerb right in front of me. Did my Superman impression - but had to do a crash landing?

[shortfatslug Graduate]

Not nice

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to shortfatslug]

No. I kept on running though. I couldn't see what I'd done in the dark and it went numb after a couple of minutes.

[Purple_faced_woman Graduate]

Maybe you need to be wearing those impervious Superman tights! Looks a bit nasty, and hate it when you get a scab pulling over a knee. Hope you recover quickly.

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to Purple_faced_woman]

I just need to learn to fly.😉

[Ugifer]

Ouch!

I shall have to invent some kind of roller-skate for the hands and knees!

Hope it heals quickly.

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to Ugifer]

I'll have to borrow my daughters roller skating knee protectors.😆

[poppypug Graduate]

" I wish I could fly ,right up to the sky, but I cant " ( You can )

Oh dear, Bad luck Jonny, hope it doesn't sting too much - Ewwwww !

Love the tags on your post ha ha ! xxx

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

I remember that one PP. 😃

[mfamilias Graduate]

Owch. And how nice of the driver to stop and check that you were ok, huh...

Make sure that you disinfect that properly.

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to mfamilias]

I know. That was the most painful bit.

[davelinks Graduate]

Superman's been on the kryptonite! That's not nice Jonny, probably looks worse than what it actually is..😱 be careful out there!

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to davelinks]

Your right davelinks. Still hurts tho.

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Ooh Ouchy! Bad luck - remember the torch next time!

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

I will.😡

[Rignold]

remember to wear sunglasses next time.

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to Rignold]

Should have a hat with a sun visor.😂

[davelinks Graduate]

Can get a nice running cap with built in led light in aldi £4.99, I nearly got one, but I don't run in the dark and have a lot of caps already...

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to davelinks]

It wouldn't have saved me this time as I was blinded by the headlights. Just bad luck but I will have a look in Aldi. Thanks for the tip.

[goonkeepgoing Graduate in reply to davelinks]

My hubby bought one of those and announced he was going to wear it backwards (rather than reflective gear) when on evening runs with the running club. I had to point out to him that

1. He'd look a tool! And

2. He'd blind the poor souls running behind him

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Nice legs......

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks IP👍😉

[amateurwriter Graduate]

Ouch that looks painful, hope it's not to bad and your knee/leg recovers well,

Take care,

Siobhan x

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to amateurwriter]

Thanks Siobhan. It looks worse than it is.

X😉

[amateurwriter Graduate in reply to Jonny1]

That's good to hear that it's not to bad still looks pretty bad think it's due to the blood down your leg, hope it doesn't keep you on the injury couch for to long, mine didn't after a bad tackle in footy training on thursday, still managed to do the parkrun on the saturday x

[laurav33 Graduate]

Oh no! Sorry to hear this! Take care of yourself.

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to laurav33]

Thanks LV and will do.

[Glen53 Graduate]

Hope you heal soon, recently took a tumble myself and yep it hurts.

Glen

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to Glen53]

Thanks Glen53.

[misswobble Graduate]

I got one of those caps Dave!

Ouch! Sorry to hear of your scrape. It happens to us all at some point. I think most of us will skin our knees at least once. I hope you're feeling less sore now

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

2nd time for me MW. Not bad really in 3 years I suppose. Not too bad now though.☺

[ju-ju- Graduate]

Ouch... Lucky you didn't do anything worse... Wear the head torch in bed so you don't forget it next time and a speedy recovery...

[Jonny1 Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

Good idea JJ. Thanks.😂

[Hidden]

Oh dear. Poor you
