After having some careful safe runs on frost last week in the sun zero temperatures it rained Friday night and froze like glass over the weekend, I stayed home Saturday and Sunday carefully managed to walk to work. Then it began to thaw - and Monday morning the ice had partially gone but I managed (in the dark) to hit one of the remaining patches, up in the air and landed mostly on my butt but split my elbow with a crack. I think I might’ve carried on working regardless but my colleague took me to hospital to get checked out and I’ve got steri strips holding it together and a dressing. Otherwise I’m just achy from the jolt and glad I didn’t break my arm like another poor colleague did. Why the heck they don’t grit footpaths I’ll never know.

Anyhow no running for a few days, just very gentle stretches.
