Take care and make sure you’re fully healed. Hope you can still cycle.

Some people would love those instructions! Some nice gentle rides will keep your fitness up... hopefully you’ll be given the all clear soon.

So sorry to hear that Garden, at least you can stay in shape on your bike. I'm only just running again after injury, and I'm gradually building my muscle strength back up, it's not the end of the world to have to take a break.

I’m off to see o e on Tuesday after limping home on W4r1 last week. Was starting to ease but tripped over last night and boy did it send a pain shooting through my leg. Will see. Frustrating isn’t it?!
