It was going so well.

On Sunday I was running my 2nd 5k at Archerfield in East Lothian. A perfect setting with perfect weather so I was really enjoying my run. And then I tripped over a tree root.

A fracture to my rgt arm will keep me quite for a while.

Thanks go to all the people who helped me out. The run was so well organised and I was presented with my medal in the ambulance. 🥉 Despite the fact I never finished it I was told I deserve it.

Sorry to read about your injury. Heal well. I missed 6 months last year due to a back injury. If it’s any consolation it is much easier to bounce back.

Ouch. How annoying. Hope you heal up soon and you’ve come this far in your running so you know you can do it once you’re back to fitness. Good luck.

Oh no, those blooming tree roots are a menace! Poor you but you will bounce back and of course you deserve your medal 🥉.
