Not sure whether to put this in this thread or the "I'm a div" one.
Spent part of the afternoon in A&E having fallen over while running this lunchtime.
The final section of my regular route is down hill on a pedestrian underpass with overhanging trees. It's always a bit slippery there, but usually not too bad if you stick to the centre of the path. Today I met two women each walking a dog. They were both very good about going to one side of the path and keeping the dog close to them. As I passed the second, I must have stepped too far onto the chutney at the side of the path and I went down like a ton of bricks. I was winded, have a bruised and grazed knee, a bashed elbow, and the smallest of cuts on my near my eyebrow from the hinge of my glasses. That last of course blend like blazes, so I looked appalling. One of the dog walkers stayed with me while the other went to my office, only a couple of hundred yards away, returning with two first-aiders.
As I'd obviously hit my head, I was told I had to go to A&E, so MrsC came to take me there.
There appears to be no serious damage. It does not look as though I have concussion. My knee is going to be painful for some time though.
The two women who stopped to help were lovely and Yeovil A&E were excellent.
I will have to work out a new lunchtime running route for the next few months. I don't think I will be doing parkrun on Saturday.
