Set off for a run Wednesday morning, it was cold but bright as the sun was coming up as I hit Victoria Park. For some ungodly reason I decided not to run on the main path, but took the trail which runs beside it, which happened to be covered in fallen leaves. The joy of running through the autumn leaves in that beautiful cold sunshine was quickly brought to a halt as I rolled my ankle and heard a loud crack. Hobbled out of the park, straight into an Uber and then to A&E. Three hours later and I have an avulsion fracture of the fibula and will be wearing a boot for 4 - 6 weeks, followed by physio for the foreseeable. Gutted.
Stay safe out there!
