I've beat up my arm pretty bad, grazed my knee and put a fair sized hole in the palm of my hand as I tried to prevent myself from landing too hard. Unfortunately it was rough gravelly terrain and it's left a good deal of damage.
So with blood pouring from my injuries I decided to abandon the run and return home....
Oh Jeezuz, man! I think you'd better look twice before getting out of bed from now on matey
Mags has surely put some sort of curse on you, boy!
A nightmare scenario, Bob. How are you feeling today though...healing well I hope!
Thing is mate, I know you well enough to know that nothing but nothing will stop you doing what you enjoy and that is running. Shrug off the flesh wounds and pending the knee isn't too bad, keep on runnin' buddy...

Me, I've been to the docs and he's requested blood tests for thyroid, prostate, diabetes and another one...general wear and tear for a 50+lad or something. All routine. Happens next Wednesday. By the way, I'm feeling okay, so back to the gym tomorrow - unless Mags has something to do with it
My other complaint I saw the GP about was my ears. I have had to had them syringed for 30+ years, every nine months or so but it's now getting more frequent. This is all due to the shape of my ear canals which for some reason are very narrow and have conical-shaped canal rather than tunnel ones, which makes them close up as they near the ear drum causing my hearing to be impaired. Hence the syringing so often.
Coupled with tinnitus, which I have had for two years now, and constant itching, it was time to demand something be done if at all possible. The doctor has referred me to the ENT clinic. Waiting for that too, so all being well, something could be sorted out there.
I hate being old.
Anyway, back to the gym tomorrow, and you know me by now with my crazy ideas...I have put the 'strength' session on hold to try out something different: 20 exercises; 50 reps apiece; fixed weights; going for it.
If I survive, I'll be back to tell the tale tomorrow evening!
*BTW...How you doing,
Suzie?
