Injury!

[JAstbury1]

So I have had a fabulous weekend, we went to visit a place called the Soca ( pronounced Sorsha) valley, it’s the most beautiful place I have ever seen! It’s famous for its emerald green river, it was just magnificent! I usually fall off the wagon at the weekend but we went for breakfast in the city and I had scrambled eggs which was lovely and we had a bbq in the evening but cut out all the crusty bread we would normally tuck into!😂 I also got up and did my second day of couch to 5k so I was feeling really pleased with myself until yesterday!!! I slipped and fell down the last two steps at the bottom of the stairs and have sprained my ankle quite badly and think I may have fractured my little toe!!😬😬😬 I did all the right things I was taught in first aid, rest, ice, elevation etc, it’s very painful today but I can walk ( gingerly!) on it! I am supposed to do my third run today before starting week two! What shall I do??? If I go out on it will I make it worse? Should I rest it and start my 5k again or do I just try to carry on?? So frustrated!! On a good note the sun is shining, I have sat out on the balcony and had grapefruit, blueberries and low fat strawberry yoghurt for breakfast! Really trying hard this week for a loss ( fingers crossed !) on Wednesday! Have a good day everyone🌞😊

OUCH, JAstbury! Poor you! My advice is go to A & E and get it X rayed, then be advised by the medical staff! Don't run until someone says it's OK!

In the meantime, do what you have been doing and enjoy the sun

Beautiful picture!!

Don't forget

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing! I think I could do some exercise by at least sitting on the lawn and pulling a few weeds!! I think I need to rest it for a few days, I only started the 5k on Thursday so I have time yet to fit in the last run before it’s time to start week two! Thank you 😃

There's no time limit to the C25K. It can be done at your own pace

Oh that lousy luck!! Poor you 😕

Definitely rest it until it’s healed, but maybe do some other, non weight bearing exercises?

Ps I don’t be afraid of full fat products, we need some fat, it’s vital for vitamin absorption, and good for satiety. For years I thought I disliked yogurt, what I dislike is low fat yogurt 😊

Thank you, yes I might do a little gardening where I can sit and pull weeds or do borders etc! Yes I agree I don’t particularly like low fat yoghurts they are thin and runny!!! 😊
