#runnerdown

So marathon over for this year. Third & final charity football didn’t end as planned! Just chasing after the ball & pop, Achilles done! Thankfully only a partial tear, not the full rupture as the other one four years ago. Those who have followed me since back then know the issues I had, best part of nine months to get back to running properly. It shouldn’t be that long this time. I’ll not really sure until I see specialist at fracture clinic next week. Hopefully just 4-6 weeks in boot & then month of physio & rehab. But I know if could take longer! I can’t make any predictions, but xmas day parkrun would be nice. To say I’m gutted is an understatement, however I was torn over the marathon & I’m not that disappointed I won’t be running it. It was likely going to be last as I’m really not suited to them or the training needed. I’ve run two & I should be happy with that, not many have run one, so take the wins I guess. I should be able to cycle before I can run. So perhaps a triathlon for next year is still on the cards! #runner #runnerdown #injured #charityfootball #lonelygoatrunningclub #lonelygoatrc #outofaction #mandown #weightlossjourney #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #ukrunchat (at Poole, Dorset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLBls8oB6h/?utm_medium=tumblr

What a scene this was! A frozen pond during sunrise! I got a bit artsy with the frosty metal pole in the foreground! 😎 // Still not running...but I'm getting there! Icing, stretching, rolling w/@addaday , eating... what else is there to do when you can't run? 😂 // Fortunately I've got a serious backlog of photos from runs! 😄 . . . . #ASICSFrontRunner #RunDemCrew #SeenWhileRunning #RunnerDown (at Clapham Common)

Still no running but there's light at the end of the tunnel. #runningculture #runnerdown #injury (at Rude Skov)

It's the season of the evil flu... I want to be out there and my body decided to wake me up with a super sore throath and runny nose. Not what I ordered on this day, I don't have time for this!! I will crank myself up with all the @arcticwarriors and ginger and coconut oil and hot water and send all the positive vibes out in the universe to be healthy soon! #adventrunning #runnerundertheweather #seasonoftheevilflu #runnerdown #arcticwarriors #PMA
