Not looking for medical advice, was checked by GP and waiting for consultant and will be guided by him. Fingers crossed it "holds together" until end of IMRA season though.


Anyone else have one? How long were you out? Was the return a slow build up or straight back into it after the usual 6 weeks?

I'm beginning to wonder about this running lark. Spent 20 years drinking and never had an injury, baby arrived 18 months ago, social life ended and running times improved greatly. But in that time have had kidney stones which I put down to running long distance without hydrating properly, have a crocked heel from a rock on a flying descent, a completely dislocated right finger ring from a fall on bog, a badly damaged left finger ring from a fall on a descent where the ring caught on a rock...and now a hernia... But I guess that's the price of running mountains...
