Week 4

A quick one this week.  No running at all.

Why?  Well, while I was camping on holiday I managed to stub my toe.  “So what?” you might ask.  Well, at the time, I was barefoot, it was the middle of the night, and I stubbed it very hard against a very rough, very solid brick.  My big toe basically looked like it had exploded, there was a very thick flap of skin a couple of centimeters across hanging off, and lots and lots of blood.  Luckily we’d brought a first aid kit with us, so I was able to patch it up in torch light to the extent that I stopped bleeding all over the tent.

So I’ve been hobbling around for the last few days with my toe taped up, and it finally seems to have healed enough that I can walk fairly comfortably.  However, I’m going to be very careful over the next couple of days to make sure I don’t re-injure it while it heals.

So, top tip this week?  When you get up to go to the loo in the middle of the night when you’re camping, bring a torch and watch where you’re going!
