Oh no! Due to run wk 8 run 2 today but having to sit it out after taking my 5 year old to an ice skating party yesterday and falling very hard on my coccyx :( had to be stretchered off after passing out, very embarrassing! Not sure how long I'll be out of action but I think I will probably give running a miss at least until I can walk without so much pain oh dear!

Ouch - poor you. Those pesky children's parties!!! Rest up and I hope you recover soon.

Poor thing! Ice skating is the work of the devil - last time I went I broke my wrist :-( Take it easy and make sure you recover properly.

Rest.. rest and rest.. I fell exactly like that on black ice, some years ago.. Christmas Eve!

Ouch, ouch and triple ouch!!! really, really wait until you feel better... keep moving as soon as the pain abates a tad.. to stop yourself stiffening up... Oh dear... the good news is though.. the runs will be there when you are recovered.

Oh very ouch- my ( adult) daughter had this injury falling down stairs- I remember how sore she was. LOTS of rest, running will politely wait for you and welcome you back when you are better. It may take a while, but it will get better.
