YOU KNOW YOU’RE A RUNNER WHEN:

[Biddy62]

Having tipped a full mug of freshly made (no milk and an insulated cup 😱) tea into your lap you leap up screaming ripping your shorts off(taking skin with them 😱) to see your thigh bright red and beginning to blister and you burst into tears firstly because of the pain but almost as closely because you realise ‘I won’t be able to run tomorrow now 😭’ - 🤣🤣

4 dats later the redness is fading the blisters are subsiding and I’m hoping to get my leggings on tomorrow and get out for a run.

The joys of running 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️😊👍🏻

Ooh, ouch! There are nicer ways to find out you're a runner. Good luck tomorrow 🤞

Too right!

Thanks. Now on an activity holiday - cycling, walking & kayaking in the south of France. Did it Saturday- flew out Monday- finding creative ways to dress for the activities whilst avoiding chafing and sunlight🙄

🤪🤣

Ouch ……. Hope it all heals quickly Biddy

[Biddy62 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

I thought you were going to say you ripped your shorts off because you didn't want your running kit ruined, then remembered to put cold water on your legs afterwards...

[Biddy62 Half Marathon in reply to Langley-Loper]

🤣

Aaah! They were just casual shorts not precious kit shorts 🤣 That would have been double 😱

But I had many many cold compresses on my leg for the rest of the day. A week on it’s starting to heal. A lot of the redness is fading and most of the blisters have dried up. Hoping to run tomorrow 👍🏻
