Gashed hands are for idiots

Blood on hands/kit - not a good look; infection - not a good outcome if avoidable.

Scars add character although I am told that I have knees that only a fellow fellrunner would love! (I'm also not sure that manliness was a look that I was aspiring to!)

Personally I’m willing to risk the scarring my hands because the alternative of wearing gloves (in non-winter weather) doesn’t go well with my hard as nails, Clint Eastwood of the Dales, look . Equally I haven’t found it necessary to rummage around in the garage and find my daughter’s old roller blade knee, elbow and palm protectors or wear a cycle helmet while running.

Oh and I do think a bit of blood on my hands and or kit is a good look

Our Friday running group of about 20 runners meet at the pub and off we go - back for a pint and a buttie. We represent about 4 or 5 different clubs - why is it tonight all the Buckley runners were injured and just turned up for the ale?

Well, if I'd known that was an option ......

Anyone have any experience of a haematoma? I had a nasty fall two weeks ago and have a large swelling on my thigh. Been to hospital and they drained it but it has filled up again. Gets worse during the day and can barely walk in the evening.

Obviously not running but any idea how long it may take to sort out and any suggestions

Off to Physio soon to find out what's wrong with my poorly knee....boo. :-(
So gutting to get an injury a few weeks before my marathon and only 48 miles off my 1000 mile for the year target. :-((

[Derby Tup]

Good luck MG. Hope it's sorted soon

[Mountain Goatess]

Thanks DT!
Back from the physio and it is what I thought....ITB.
So, had a nice painful massage and some ultrasound. She also lent me a large roll of treatment paper that can act as a foam roller! :thumbup:
I'm going to try a short run and Wednesday and see how it is, then further treatment on Friday. The physio seemed to think that I can go ahead with the marathon on Sunday on as it is trail surface and it shouldn't do me any actual harm provided I can run through the pain if it occurs! :w00t: What do those with experience of ITB problems think about this?
