Can’t run! 😧

Walking my dog yesterday and I walk him at a fast pace, I turned to see where he was and I kicked a stump and it has really jarred my right leg! It was so painful and I had to walk home from the park, took forever. I iced it last night and rested it, tried to run this morning and couldn’t 🙁 I guess I’ll have to accept no running this week.

Oh no Runners, that’s bad luck! It’s always the silly injuries which floor us. Mine was last year doing yoga of all things! I thwacked my foot into a large armchair and blackened 2 small toes! I took a week off, then strapped them up and soldiered carefully on.

Hope you can resume running soon! 🤞😀

So frustrating. I'm sure I might fall over my very large dog at some point, he randomly stops or gets in my way during my shuffle-jogs!

Ouch, I feel your pain. Enjoy your rest, get properly repaired and you'll come back even stronger!

No running til you're better. Have you thought of taking up a musical instrument while you're on the IC?
