Last long run and took a tumble

[turnturtle]

Report to follow but I am bruised slow and despondent. Let's hope the dress rehearsal incorporated all that could go wrong and it'll be 'all right on the night'

[JaySeeSkinny Half Marathon]

Ow, poor you!💊💊 Looks sore. No bones broken I hope?

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

No! Just severely bruised ego. Was running with my Camelpak for the first time and in fiddling with it managed to drop the whole thing and entangle my legs in the tubing. Some people shouldn't be allowed out without a carer!

[JaySeeSkinny Half Marathon in reply to turnturtle]

Don't worry, I'm sure you would run away from your carer! It does sound like an unusual accident!

[poppypug Marathon]

Oh TT !! You have shed blood, sweat and tears in training for this Marathon haven't you ?

Youre going to have a couple of right bruises there. Hope youre feeling okay xxx

[dagshar Half Marathon]

Ouch. Hope it heals up quickly and good luck for the day!

[ancientrunner Half Marathon]

Oh no - you've certainly been in the wars. As you say hopefully your mishaps are all done now. Hope it' not too sore.

[Eatcakeandrun Marathon]

Oh dear- that looks sore. 🙁 I hope there are no more trials and tribulations before (or during ) your race.

[turnturtle Marathon]

Thanks all. I only have short runs to do from now on - the longest is 14K -and I have been instructed by Ironson to do them all on the flat. So I will get myself to York racecourse and run around the ParkRun track there, possibly with protective bandages on like a horse. What do you think?

[benwill Marathon]

Oh ouch hope your ok, i am sure you will be nothing will keep you down for long! go on get back up and get on that horse.

[Noaky12 Half Marathon]

Oh now TT! Ouch. Sending big soothing hugs. x

[misswobble Marathon]

Oh sh*t TT! Ne'er mind TT. A mere flesh wound. You'll be scarred not scared 😃

Camelbaks give me the willies. No good ever came from em 😊

Good tip about the flat runs! I have made a mental note 👍

Hang in there TT! You're kicking it's arse

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

that look sore TT! good job you are made of strong stuff! nearly there now, doing brilliantly!

[secan]

It seems the karma is conjuring against you; broken toe, bruised knees...

But the karma doesn't know it is only making you stronger; you're going to win that Berlin marathon!

[turnturtle Marathon]

Somehow I dont think I'll win it Secan! But hopefully I will beat the 6 1/4 hour cut off point!

[secan in reply to turnturtle]

You didn't think to break you toe either... yet, life has strange ways to surprise you and, from a purely statistic point of you, the next surprise is ought to be a positive one (unless I just jinxed it, in which case it would be only my fault if you don't win and you should consider it a victory anyway ).

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to secan]

This is my song!

I get knocked down, but I get up again

You are never gonna keep me down

I get knocked down, but I get up again

You are never gonna keep me down

I get knocked down, but I get up again

You are never gonna keep me down

I get knocked down, but I get up again

You are never gonna keep me down

I have this on my playlist. Never fails to inspire xx

[ju-ju- Marathon]

urgggg just seen this... not good, I hope the pain is easing now???

[turnturtle Marathon]

It was only last night that I discovered another wound-on my shoulder, probably a bit nastier than my knee scrapes and yet I didn't notice it for two days. Now I know about it of course it hurts, Bizarre! I have only a hazy memory. My main concern was embarrassment that someone may have seen me (nobody did). I must have gone full frontal- as my injuries are on knees hands and shoulder. But I guess it is better to spread the load! Pain not bad. Its all superficial thank God.
