Parkrun

[Mat]

Did it this morning. Thought i was on for a pb until ankle gave way. Hopefully its just sprained but felt a pop and incredibly painful

 

Hmmmm, saw the picture of your ankle in the run/cycle/swim thread......

 

looks nasty - whats the prognosis?

 

Hopefully you arn't looking at an extended period of watching daytime TV!

Torn ligament. Changing to purple now. Got charity cycle in 12 days. Been training for months. Said i would probably be ok if i take it easy and have a good support on it.

 

No running for at least 4 weeks although i can walk and use cross trainer.

Hoping the recovery is swift, I guess if you are still mobile that is at one thing....

 

I put my back 'out' for about three weeks once - couldn't do a damn thing except stand up - couldn't lie flat on the floor or anything. when I did sleep it was leaning stupidly across a kitchen chair.

 

That was by far the worst three weeks of my life.

 

I swore that I would look after myself properly after that.

 

One night it just popped back in like magic, and i have abused my back ever since.

 

C'est la vie

 

Whats the cycle event you are preparing for?

Are you helping to pay for his holiday of a lifetime adventure?

[Chunkymunky]

Probably a little bit but heyho. £30 and get fed and watered and camping. Just an excuse for a lads weekend

Here's to a speedy recovery.

 

Mind you don't bugr it up again whilst 'camping' though!

 

I didn't Parkrun last week. Volunteered instead. Got issued with a short training course and a barcode scanner, which was OK as I was happy to have a task with the least possible responsibility.

 

Just imaging if you are dishing out the place number barcodes and you dropped the stack all over the floor - nightmare.

 

Back at it for this saturday. Been doing a few 5k runs and 25k cycles to ease back in gently.

Good job fella. I am usually stood on the course. Will be volunteering this saturday. Did a workout on upper body today and just the physio today. It doesn't feel too bad but wary

Back with a vengeance after my one week of exile from competing.

 

Celebrated by coming sixth in the ‘old git – male 40-44’ category, with a time of 25:49.

 

Only ran with 55 others…. Strong blustery wind to complement the horizontal rain. Nice!
