Street-O @ Cathies Corner

Be carefull what you wish for...

I was thinking this afternoon that what I really need is a decent break from running to let the hip properly heal.

So at Street-O, I signed up for C Course (40 minutes) with the plan of running for 30, then walking whatever was needed to get me back to the finish. It was all going to plan until minute 22. The HRM had been playing up and I was constantly checking it to see if it had come back "online". Anyway... I fell off the footpath, over the guttering and onto the road - and going over on my ankle in the process.

Oooouuuch!

I leaned against a gatepost for a few minutes considering my options (waiting for the pain to stop), before deciding to abandon my route and head straight for the finish. The last 1.6km slow walk home took longer than the 2.8km run out, and every uneven bit of road jarred it. Hopefully the swelling will go down overnight (yay drugs!) and I haven't done anything stupid. And just a few weeks short of the 12 month anniversary of shredding all the tendons in that ankle.

sigh... bloody hell.

Not quite what I was thinking of when I was thinking about a running break.
