I...Ouch - I'm glad you weren't badly hurt!<br /><br />I used to go out running after work about 20 years ago. It was hard at first, but after doing it 3 times a week for a month I was finally starting to get running fit. Then one evening I was running up a poorly lit road when I decided to sprint to a street lamp just round a bend. Unfortunately, there was a deep pothole lurking in the shadows of the bend ...<br /><br />My left foot planted just on the rim of the pothole and twisted through almost 90 degrees. I went down fast and hard. Chunk of flesh out of knee, big lump on head, cut hand ...<br /><br />Worst of all, my ankle started swelling alarmingly. By the time I hobbled home it was almost the size of an orange and the same colour. Over the next two days my ankle and foot went a dark purple colour.<br /><br />I had pain in that ankle for nearly 2 years and still get cramp in the foot now when cycling.<br /><br />My running days are over (damn arthritic hips) but I miss it.<br /><br />Enjoy your running but watch where you are going!ColinJhttp://www.slimmerandfitter.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-83491390842906668272011-02-11T07:19:40.781+00:002011-02-11T07:19:40.781+00:00maybe wear you helmet next time ;)maybe wear you helmet next time ;)katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181895420538192368noreply@blogger.com
