Just as feeling comfortable on the second 5 minutes my left foot went down a pothole. One short flight through the air and I crashed down rib cage on left elbow. Now feeling sorry for myself with sore ribs and a cracked bone in the elbow. I will be back!!!!

I am very sorry to hear about this bad luck. Great British roads and pavements (not).I guess you have had an unwelcome trip to your local A&E. I hope you get better soon, and are back to running health in no time.

And I must say a big thank you to the brilliant NHS, who soon had me patched up in no time.
