W4R1, struggled & fell! :-(

As I was struggling finishing my last 5mn run, twisted my ankle and fell on my knees! Ouch!! Ouch!! Ouch! Big hole on my running tight and blood on my knee! Not very happy! I hope I have not damaged my ankle! Why is it so hard to run now when I used to run everywhere before, ie when I was 15! Ok now am 51!

Oh dear...hope there’s no lasting damage! Perhaps stick some ice on the ankle if you think you may have twisted it? 😣❤️

I think I used to fall over and cut my knees just as much at 15. It somehow seems more embarrassing being seen falling now I’m much older, though! (I managed to surpass myself by slipping on a rock and falling full depth into a Scottish river right in front of a couple of strangers a few weeks ago!! 😂🤣❤️)

Ahaha your message made me laugh! I guess I could also have fallen straight into water as I fell right next to Leith water! :-). That would have been more embarrassing to me! I did fall in front of a lovely man who helped me get up from the gravels and tried to be supportive as I was making faces with pain and checking I had nothing broken! Lovely gentlemen. I have ice around my ankle thanks for the suggestion. 😀
