Unable to start W9! Feeling sorry for myself!

[Cally73]

Well, after my dramatic end to week 8 I am now resting. Been to have my elbow checked but they say no fractures just trauma to the elbow! As you can see it’s rather swollen and very painful! I also really pulled my groin area so walking is painful too! So, week 9 will have to be delayed a little ☹️ Not happy as I am so close to the finish line! Guess there will be no Parkrun for me on Saturday! Healing vibes appreciated as I am frustrated!

Ouch! Hope that you heal swiftly. At least nothing was broken and you’ll be back soon. There’s no way I’d run with that swelling. It takes two weeks to lose any fitness so you should be fine to resume where you left off.

Thank you. I honestly can’t believe how sore it is. I will be back out in no time I guess. Just frustrated!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Cally73]

I struggle with rest days... injuries doubly so... I feel your frustrations. You’ll have nice fresh legs to close this out on though... there’s always a silver lining.

Very swollen indeed. Just rest up the wk9 will be waiting for you when you're better 😊😊

What a shame! That looks really painful! 😱 Have you tried putting frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel round it? I hope it heals quickly, as well as your groin strain. You don’t do things by half, do you? 😳

[Cally73 Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

Yes, I have been continually icing it since it happened. Can’t imagine how swollen it would be if I hadn’t! Soon be healed, well soonish!

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to Cally73]

Good luck! 👍

[Cally73 Graduate in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

It really is 😢

[Sillybilly1 Graduate]

Ouch...looks painful, but I’m sure you will be back shortly.

[Cally73 Graduate in reply to Sillybilly1]

I will be! I am a determined lady!
