Training been erratic lately and not had much impetus, however went out last night about 6 took head torch as I thought if I felt good would be out a couple of hours. Got going and felt strong and knew I was going to have a good one. Three miles in still in the light jogged across a notoriously slippery footbridge I was well aware of, turned to step off it and bam, straight over landing face down driving head torch into L eyebrow. I was on a track by the Turkey at Gooseye so I went into the pub with blood sheeting down my face to check the damage, the fussing I got from a buxom blonde lady almost made the whole thing worthwhile. Spent 4 hours at A&E for a couple of steristrips and some glue.
Interestingly Triage nurse who saw me was an organiser of the Fellsman, after chatting to him may enter next year. Bit disappointed the eye is not completely closed over as I was hoping for an excuse to get out of the 3px at the w/e.
