  • Anyone doing the Bromley 10k on Sunday at Norman park?
    Wish I could but my knees can just about get through a 5K, heard it's a good course the 10K👍

    3 laps of the running track and four of the park. I’ve been doing a bit of training down there as it’s flat so hoping I get my time. Good luck with the knees stan 👍
  • Just at Battersea today…

    2 laps, but only this bit of the park


  • Running 11 nights ago I was feeling good near the end so decided to end with a sprint finish (I never sprint finish as I never feel good near the end!)

    About 10 strides from my house in the dark I must have landed on an uneven bit of pavement and went right over on my ankle. Absolute agony and ankle and foot ballooned. 

    7hrs at hospital the next day, uncertain from X-rays whether there is a fracture due to the amount of swelling. Sent for a follow up CT scan last night and get results on Tuesday.

    Mentally I’ve been on a huge downer since and basically been laid up on the sofa for 10 days. From the tip of my toes to halfway up my shin I’ve had ever colour of bruising imaginable. 

    This morning is the first day I’ve felt like it’s improving. Praying it’s just a really bad heavily swollen sprain and I don’t need any surgery. Doc said if so then the best outcome would be maintaining the protective boot for 4-6 weeks. 

    Don’t realise how much I miss running and golf until I can’t do them, so hope everyone really enjoyed their runs.

    I’ll be back! 💪

    ps. Have been really impressed with the efficiency at QE
    Sorry to hear that boss, hope you’re on the mend soon.

  • Sorry to hear that AFKA. Completely get the mental situation when you can't run or do any kind of fitness activity. Reallyvcan get you down. Hope it's not anything too serious and you can  get back out there soon.
  • Take care of the ankle Afka, injuries are really tough in that area of the body, you'll be on the mend in no time!

    Wishing you a speedy recovery Afka .
  • Speedy recovery! Got my worst ever time today, 31 mins, but was late so ended up at the back having had to leg it there, so probably my own fault.

    Random question, had a health screening for work and seems I've got high blood pressure. Trying to figure out if running will help or hinder... Probably wait until I've taken a weeks worth of readings then see what the GP says, but I think it's been high for a while
