On the IC

Had a bad fall playing badminton on Thursday evening, landing on my shoulder.

I now have a very painful fractured shoulder which is strapped up.

Won’t be running or s&f for the foreseeable future.

The saying goes ‘you never know what’s round the corner’.

Hopefully won’t be here too long 😥

Oh no. Poor you. Hope you’re not feeling too down. Look at this as a time to watch running movies. And there are lots of running books to read to inspire you to get back at it when you’re less injured. Best of wishes. Best of luck.

Oh no, it's too easy to go flying playing badminton, my last injury was through badminton too. Hope you're soon on the mend 🤗

Thank you, we’ve been playing most weeks for over 2 years & never had a problem before. There’s a 1st for everything. Hopefully will be back playing again soon.

I haven't ran for the last 6 weeks so I know how disappointing this can be. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
