Oh no! Injured ☹

[SkiMonday]

Out for a run yesterday, I was approaching a small bridge made of two planks of wood. Unfortunately, what I thought was solid ground turned out to be greenery on the sloping bank. I found this out when I used it as a step. Over I went and I seem to have twisted my ankle.

It didn't feel too bad at first so I walked the 11k back to my car. With hindsight, that was a bad decision.

Planning on going to the minor injuries clinic later to check that it isn't anything more serious but I think my event at the end of August is a write off ☹.

Think I might be spending some time swimming with a float because that's the only exercise I can think of that won't aggravate my ankle.

Anyhow the view over Bristol was good!

I’m so sorry to hear this SkiMonday . Here’s hoping with a bit of rest and a gentle return you won’t be completely out for your event in August.

[RunWillie Half Marathon]

Sorry to hear that SkiMonday Hope your appointment goes well 👍🏻

[AlMorr Half Marathon]

Sorry about your injury SkiMonday, get it checked at the minor enjuries clinic as soon as possible.

[Frenc Half Marathon]

Oh that’s such a shame, I hope it’s not too serious. I wish you a speedy recovery. 😊

Oh no! It’s so easily done, I twisted my ankle stepping onto a tiny titchy kerb wrongly so I know how it feels. Calves are the thing SM, when you can stretch out those calves regularly. Apparently any ankle issues make calves tighten.

I do hope you’re not out of training for too long 🤞You might be able to cycle once it feels a bit better.

But lovely views 😍

Oh no. You're having more than your fair share of bad luck just now. Hopefully it is just bruising and will heal fast, but getting it checked has to be the right thing to do. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Ooh no Skimonday 😳I really hope it's not as bad as you fear.. lots of tlc and just maybe you will be able to run your event 🙏🤗

[skysue16 Half Marathon]

oh no - sorry to hear about your injury. Hope you get on alright at your appointment.

[misswobble Marathon]

Typical! 😖. It seems inevitable doesn’t it. Bah! 😤.

Ankles twists are painful but often good to go after a day or two. Don’t write your race off yet

Walking back 11k with a crocked ankle is a pig but not much choice in the circs 😫

Nil desperandum 🙂👍

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Oh no!! Rest well xxx

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Here’s hoping it settles more quickly than you fear. 🤞for you.

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Ahh nooo SM! What bad luck. I really hope it’s fairly minor and you’re not sidelined for too long. 🤞🤞

Great view of a great city (no bias here!) 😅

[SkiMonday Ultramarathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Agreed, it is a great city. Im sure I'll get to run around in one of these days!

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon]

I saw your post on Strava, I am so very sorry. Hopefully it will be less bad than you fear.

[Cmoi Marathon]

Really sorry about this latest setback SkiMonday , do hope things work out for you.

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Oh no SkiMonday , I hope your trip to the minor injuries clinic didn’t show up anything too bad. You were doing so well with your distance running. Rest well

[SkiMonday Ultramarathon in reply to Dexy5]

They reckon it's a sprain. Said "come back in a few days if it gets really painful". Maybe I should have insisted on an xray.

[Comfortnotspeed Marathon]

So sorry to hear this. I hope you’re not in pain and recovery is fast.

[Katnap Marathon]

Fingers crossed the injury isn't too bad!

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

Hope it heals quicker than you expect, but so frustrating for you. That is a lovely view. On a clear day we can see the severn bridge from our hills so maybe you can see our hills!

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon]

Oh man! 🙈🙈🙈 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for a full recovery, if not in time for Green Man at least ASAP. Maybe you could drop to one of the shorter distances for the GM so as not to miss out completely...

[Stephen_UK Half Marathon]

Sorry to hear this news, SM. Wishing you a swift recovery.

[NanaPlum Half Marathon]

[HeavyFoot Half Marathon]
