Ouch - pain!

KernowLad · Feb 27, 2012

Running earlier around the river path near us. Part of it is about 20-30ft above the river and very rooty. Slipped on a wet root, went down like a sack of spuds, fell halfway down the cliff. Walloped my head, bu99ered my leg (couldn't walk) almost puked, grazed arm, bruised everything else. Running is meant to be healthy isn't it?

I think it's only fairly nasty bruising and a lot of grazes. Can't quite put all my weight on the offending leg but nothing too bad. I've had worse - bit of a shock running happily one minute (on a route I've been running for years) then hanging onto a cliff edge trying not to be sick the next! No phone reception, very remote - I fully admit to briefly having a little panicky moment!

Slightly unfortunate year - on exiting the swim (1st) section of a triathlon in September, I sliced open my right foot. Didn't realise how bad it was, did the cycle and run, finished, took my shoe off to inspect the foot, had a shoe full of blood. Stitches, antibiotics, limping for weeks.

Maybe I should stick to reading books?!

How is your healing going Kernowlad?

Healing fast! Managed my usual 13 mile bike ride the next day, ran last night, surfing later. Horrible looking scabs but otherwise okay. A lucky escape!
