[Richard]

Had a bad run last night. I have attached a nice pic for you now that I have been cleaned up.

First I swallowed a fly then got a small midge thing in my eye. Then just to top it off I got snipered and went flying :embarrassed: But I just got back up and carried on home trying to look

Think I lost my footing on some gravel.

Got some nice nasty scrapes along the side of my butt. However I won't show you them.

All this in 40 minutes. I hope I don't have any of this happening on Sunday when I do my first 12 mile run.

There was one good outcome. The last couple of miles or so were pretty damn quick. I was going as fast as I could to get back home again as I was stinging so much. :d

Anyway. Back out tonight fo 50 minutes of speedwork. I hasten to add I will not be going the same route as last night.

Keep on running Guys and Girls

Harsh!

Well, it means the next runs will be better...

How does one get snipered, anyway?? :huh:

 

[john.ump]

Looks like runners stigmata to me.....

 

[Dave]

Nice Battle wounds Richard............

Ouch......

 

[bagpuddycat]

Ouch, you certainly have my sympathy.

I hope snipered doesn't mean you were shot at

 

[Granty]

You have mine - looks nasty - Ouch.

 

[roadrunnerrob]

You have my sympathy - I may post a pic of my black toe one day - but my more serious injuries seem to come from activities not related to running (like smashing my ribs stumbling out on a boat at the weekend )

Hope you heal soon :d

Owain gets flattened by the "comblestones" , Trinity gets knocked over by a car, Roadrunnerrob cracks his ribs and now Richard...It's a dangerous world out there...

I might stay in tonight

 

[Richard]

Good job it's just a few scratches and nothing more serious. I won't be a happy runner if I don't get to do my Marathon in October.

Thanks for the sympathy folks.:d I feel fine now. I new you were a good bunch

 

[Runningfox]

It's the sort of thing I've been doing for years Richard. My partner is fed up of patching me up, or taking me to hospital streaming with blood. I usually wear gloves so I don't get my hands torn to bits every time I go hurtling over the rocks, or whatever. It's what makes running into an 'adventure sport' - not for the faint-hearted!
Cheers!

 

[Richard]

I've never really fancied running with gloves on. However I think I will maybe give them a try. I may even try some of those Legging/compression things if it's going to save me getting all cut up.

 

[jackmcmanus21]

when it rains it pours I guess! I'd rather risk it than wear gloves...they seem kind of uncomfortable to me

 

[Runningfox]

Not as uncomfortable as torn hands!

 

[Steve]

...It's a dangerous world out there...

I might stay in tonight

My thoughts entirely!:d

 

[Trinity]

Those grazes look nasty!! ... you're very brave

I'm not suprised you slipped you appear to only have one leg in the photograph

He had two legs at the time of the fall.
(Perhaps the camera is balanced on top of the other leg?) :d

 

[Hrun]

I reckon he is pressing the shutter button with the other leg.
