Am not happy!! I was on such a high last week, managing my 20 min run. Yesterday morning I fainted while having a shower, have got lots of bruises, the worst being on my little toe, so struggling with shoes at the moment!! The worst of it is I am supposed to be doing 10,000 steps everyday in March for cancer research...Lol, I did 900 yesterday!! Not happy is an understatement!!

Oh no! It's so horrible to come crashing down like that. Look after yourself - c25k will still be waiting and you can always do your own challenge for cancer research. Take care.

Thanks pollyp1, I will get there...eventually!! Not gonna fall at the first hurdle(so to speak)!! Its just really annoying, have managed to get donations from friends and family and feel like I'm letting them down!! Will have to carry on into April instead!! At least my toe isn't broken(I don't think!) So it should mend quite quickly, then I'll be back!!!

Oh no Cola - I'm sorry to hear that, I'm wincing at the thought of it.

Take care, hope you are better soon, the running will politely wait for you! 😃

Sorry to hear this. Hope you’re okay .

Oh how crappy for you. This pesky weather is now beyond the enjoyment phase. I’d quite like some good old fashioned British grey skies and not much happening. Hope your foot gets better soon

Thanks Jancanrun, I guess it could be worse, I could've hurt my foot after the snow and then I'd have had to stop for longer. By the time the roads are safe, my foot should be better!! Always a positive somewhere in a situation!!! Lol
