Injury!
15 05 2009
This is what the countryside did to me, I used to have an ankle, now I have an elephant’s foot. This never happened in London. Stupid countryside.
Still, after Sarah suggested soaking a cloth in apple cider vinegar, putting the cloth around my ankle and wrapping it in clingfilm, today I woke up with it feeling 1000 times better; still swollen but I can now walk up the stairs without Shaun laughing at me.
Result.
(sorry about crap photo, my pc is broken and I’m on an old version of WordPress and don’t know how to upload the photos properly)
Stats:
Elephant’s feet: 1
Ankles smelling of vinegar: 1
Crap photos: 1

That looks painful! I suffered in very similar ways from recent cross country efforts, I was more worried about my shiny new Mizunos getting dirty in the mud though! Frozen peas and Ibuprofen are definitely the answer.
