It was such a lovely day yesterday that I decided to run outside instead of my usual lunchtime treadmill session - big mistake, was feeling absolutely great after about 3 miles - best I have felt since having the flu, was running back to work down the main road, glanced over my shoulder when approaching the ESSO garage to check for incoming vehicles when I twisted my ankle down a hole in the pavement - ouch, expletive, expletive, managed hobble the mile back to work, but couldn't locate any ice or a crepe bandage, but a kind soul in our refectory gave me a bag of frozen chips to put on it!!!!

Did the 'rice' treatment last night and have hobbled in to work today, but its not looking good for the Wilmslow half next month, to add insult to injury, its my birthday tomorrow and I think my husband has got me a Garmin jobby, I shall be a sick as the preverbial parrot if I he does but I can't get out and play with it - could it record how far I limp perhaps???

As far as I'm concerned the 'ESSO Sign doesn't make for very happy running' - that dates me doesn't it.

I shall now read all your training diaries and achieve a little vicarious running....!
