Bro - Well done on the xc race, and not going too fast.
Minni - I agree with the others, zip your woman suit up and get out there, our are you going soft in your old age!
Well went out for a 13m lsr this evening. Whilst running thru a small village (churchtown) with narrow pavements. I was adjusting my bumbag
strap on my right side, Oh and they also have
bollards to stop cars parking on the pavement.
Yes you've guessed it, whilst looking down I
must of drifted slight to the right and the next
minute WHACK, at 8.30 pace that's 7mph into a
bollard, then flying thru the air and hit the deck with a thump, What the F. After a few secs I got up and hobbled over to a bench in a bus stop, obviously pretending I meant to do it. As I was twisting to the right, I took the full force on my left hip/side. I was only 3m into my run, so I had to decided whether to head back home before it stiffens up and call it a 6m tempo. But decided to carry, mile 4 was a bit slower, but I was back up to 8.30pace by mile 5, so carried on. Left side starting feeling stiff by mile 10, but still managed 12m and virtually bang on target of 8.31ave pace. I found out why I was able to carry on, it was just above my hip that took the full force of the bollard, that area just above the top of your pelvis and bottom of the rib cage, where there's no bones.
1- still managed to get my lsr in. 2- no damage to my running gear. 3- On 3 runs a week, tomorrow is definately a rest day.
I'm now sporting, what if I was a biffer, is a large muffin top on my left side. Hehe
