Hubris!

[Gemylou]

Posted yesterday about completing couch25k and was feeling chuffed at how straightforward it had all been. Oh no, the gods were listening and decided to teach me a lesson. Standing in a queue at Somerset House last night waiting to see Birdy I was chatting away and failed to see a knee high stone pilar! I tipped over and went flat on my face. My knees and arms were scraped and bruised and my face all red with the embarrassment. Woke up this morning and my ankle is so swollen and very bruised. No parkrun this weekend for me. Once I'm rested and back up and about I promise to get back to you all and let you know how I get on. I can hear those gods laughing at me as I type!

Ow ow ow! Hope you managed to enjoy the gig in spite of your fall. Rest and heal up well and let the thought that you finished the programme help you back on to your running feet in due course. Those gods are just jealous. They know nothing about running.

Well they do say pride comes before a fall and that looks quite a nasty one. Rest up and while the cuts and the embarrassment will go fairly quickly that swollen ankle looks like it could take a while.

ouch that looks sore.... ice, elevation, rest and ibuprofen ( if you are OK with it)...

Doh! It happens to us all but we bounce back 😃 That might well be right for Satdy

I like that you post with a Northern accent

[Gemylou Graduate]

Thanks all for your good wishes this won't deter me though once I'm better. I will post once I've (eventually) done my park run

[Maddee_6333 Graduate]

Oh no! Look after yourself!

Poor foot It will be such a joy when you are running again
