This Was Supposed To Be Marathon Week #marathon #hospital #slowrunner

Everything was lined up. London Reverse. Edinburgh. The start of van life. One last week of work. A proper send-off. Instead… I fell onto my own bed and somehow broke three ribs and punctured a lung. This is the full story of the week that followed. Hospital, no sleep, pain relief, new ward friends… and losing one of them. It also means no London Reverse and Edinburgh is looking very unlikely. And suddenly the whole year looks different. Still going travelling on Tuesday. Still taking the race kit. Still hoping for a miracle to happen. And if not… Frankfurt just became the main character. Also featuring: – the most unwanted zimmer frame in history – trying to “take deep breaths” with broken ribs – and the least satisfying end to a job, ever Not quite how this was meant to go.
