Lying in bed listening to the birds I can almost believe that everything is OK but then I remember that when I go for my run I'll be in the road trying to avoid people who look at me like I am about to stab them.

And I didn't spot the flaw in my post above.

Morning all
The stumble and fall that I thought I'd got away with last week looks like it's probably resulted in a bruised rib :( . Haven't run for a week and it's driving me crazy. I had been alternating running with dog walking as my daily exercise, so have only been dog walking since. The problem is that one of our dogs has bad arthritis and is limited in how far he can go, the other wants to stop at every tree - so my exercise has been a slow 20-30 minute walk. It's not enough to clear my head. Yesterday I got the boys to walk the dogs with Mrs TR so I could go for a longer (and faster) walk - was definitely better. Looking on-line it suggests that running with bruised ribs may be painful, but won't hinder recovery, so I'm thinking of resuming running (or possibly run/walk). Any views on that?

Know what you mean, Linds (although I don’t have to people-dodge).

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
