Week 7 complete

[Crittermad]

Took me a while to get week 7 sorted - run 3 should have been Sunday, but on Saturday I dropped a steel scuba tank on the side of my foot and it swelled up really quickly with lots of bleeding under the skin 😫 very ouchy!

That’ll teach me to lug stuff around in flip flops!

It hurt to put weight on it and the foot didn’t feel like it was rolling smoothly heel to toe when I walked - I did wonder if I’d broken something.

I spent a lot of Sunday with it stuck in the air with ice blocks strapped to it, apart from a necessary supermarket trip, and yesterday it felt ok - and luckily was fine to run on today, although it looks bruised still (much less than Saturday) and the skin is a little numb.

I’m amazed at the turn around - and very pleased, I thought I may end up back on the couch! So near yet so far. So week 8 starts Thursday hopefully 🤞

Sounds like you have been lucky in a backhanded way. It would have been a shame to have to be back on the couch so near the end of the plan. Happy running.. Remember flip flops are not safety shoes 🤣

Definitely! I’d have been gutted, especially as it’s been such a mental battle to keep going.

I shall adhere to H&S guidance going forward! 🤣🩴

I have my clipboard at the ready to make sure you do keep to health and safety 😄

Ouch! That was a close shave , keep an eye on it though, don't take chances until you are sure it's ok👍

It does feel fine - if you poke it it feels bruised, but I think my running shoes are really supportive and I couldn’t feel it when running 😅

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Crittermad]

To borrow from an old joke, don't poke it then! 😉Glad the foot's ok though 😊
