Death runs marathon

I may not be able to run, but I can still read and I came across this eerie title. It says on the back of the book that it is unsuitable for runners with weak nerves... Perhaps it will help me get over this feeling of missing out because I'm on the injury couch.

Ithaca is beautiful, quiet, friendly and warm.

Spooky!

Strangely enough.... after a little bit of encouragement from someone... cannot quite remember who, quite a long while ago, on this forum...I began writing a fictional story/book..it is going slowly, but.. still going, and is a murder mystery!!!!

So glad you are in a beautiful place recovering on the IC.:) It sounds idyllic... thought of you out in the sunshine, when I ran yesterday morning... for the second time without my running jacket, and with my sun cap on! It was grand!

Keep us posted x

Ooooh let us know how the plot develops Iben. You too Floss!

I do love a good book. I was chuckling at Dickens again last night. What a guy!

Warm sunshine should be good for your recovery Iben. Enjoy the relaxation !

I got injured during gait analysis. Went to get myself proper running shoes, but ended up with a strainedcalf muscle instead. Very painful

Wow! Really didn't expect that. What bad luck :( You enjoy your holiday as much as you're able to with that pain. Hope it heals up soon.

It's much better already. Can walk without a limp again. Not on stairs though. And running? I don't think it is going to be this week, but I still hope to go for just one tiny, short, briefest of brief run before we return to Denmark.🏖

You are right. I couldn't imagine a better IC. It is fabulous. And I am recovering really fast. I walk without a limp now 🚶🚶🚶👍

Already! Blimey sounds about as lethal as Midsomer Murders!

I bet there are tons of likely suspects. You get the suspect sorted in your head only to find him dead on the next page. Bah!

Not what you're looking for?
