Beyond frustrated and annoyed!

I just got back into week 2 and had a car accident this morning, got rear-ended!! 😡😲 Off to the doctor's tonight, have back pain. So if I am not on the forum for a while I am waiting for the all clear to run again.

Oh no that's dreadful 😣 speedy recovery x

[SendWine Graduate]

Oh no, you're not having much luck lately 😕 rest up well

[Loobylou43]

Oh noooooo. Hope you are ok and get back to running safely and soon x

[GoogleMe Graduate]

Ouch! But do not underestimate the value of the forum for those on the injury couch.

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Oh no, sorry to hear that Mel😯...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, hope you get on ok at the docs.😊xx

[Dawnie16 Graduate]

Oh no Mel you are really having a time of it...speedy recovery

[KKThomas Graduate]

Hope you are ok soon.

Hi Mel, sorry to hear of your drama !

Hope your backs ok, so you can crack on with W2, puts my painful Achilles into perspective ! 😊

[Mumsygill Graduate]

So sorry to hear that. Hope the doc goes well x

[RobW73 Graduate]

Sorry to hear that, Mel.

Hope there's no damage and that you're back out there soon.

[Crittermad Graduate]

Oh no! Get well soon

I've been benched! Dr reckons I can run short bursts on grass only in a week or so. Soft tissue damage to neck/shoulder/upper back 😵😲 so have to lay off pounding the pavement for now. I think I will be taking my boy swimming as an alternative.

Really sorry to hear about your accident Mel,must’ve been awful! Get well soon and come back out again when you’re feeling better, maybe you could swim C25k instead?! Take care 😊

Need a "dislike" button.

Sorry to hear about your car accident and hope you are feeling better & back pain is lessening

Take care and hope you are up and running again soon x x

[Hidden in reply to Christianne57]

Thanks 💞 I am on the mend.

[Leojon66]

Missed this post somehow - so sorry to hear this! How are you doing? Volterol and physio probably - hope you are recovering.

[Leojon66]

How are you doing Mel_running? Any progress update? Really hope you are recovering, sending positive vibes.... 🤞

[Hidden in reply to Leojon66]

Thanks for asking 💞 I am getting better, but I am right handed so my shoulder/arm is still painful as I use it for everything. Hoping to be back out there soon.

[Hidden]

Oh no! Bless you - you really have been through it. Hope you are now on the mend. At least you were OK (ish) after the accident - must have shaken you up. I used to work in car insurance- logging claims & I know how much it shakes people up - even if it's only a small bump. Try not to feel too frustrated - as someone said on here earlier - running will always be there for you so don't rush back too quickly.

Thanks 💞 I will give W2R2 another go on Saturday probably.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yes - take it very slowly & gently. Good luck. Keep us posted.

[CatMo13 Graduate]

Hi Mel hope you are improving. I’m on the IC too and having to just walk and do a little gentle cycling too. I may start back after a couple of weeks. Let’s hope we both can !

[Hidden in reply to CatMo13]

Thanks for asking. Feeling better, but been so busy since the accident. Got my car back from repairer now. I need to dig down the back of the sofa...trying to find my motivation again! 😲

[CatMo13 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes I can imagine, danger of lethargy alert! Good luck 😁
