If it aint one thing it's another!

Well this week certainly hasn't been an average week! After the false start on Thursday due to the weather, I have decided to pass on today's run due to an incident yesterday evening.

I realised yesterday that the back light on my scooter was not working so I went to a garage to pick up a spare bulb. I know it's only changing a light bulb but I was chuffed that I had managed to take the light apart and do it myself for £2.75 instead of the £50 a certain company were happy to charge me!!! Anyway, with my scooter now in full working order I started my journey home...that was until *pauses to avoid being abusive* someone decided to turn right, across my lane, without looking!! I slammed on the brakes but came off the scooter and ended up in the middle of the road with the bike on top of me - not a good situation!!

There was no serious damage to me, just a bruised knuckle and sore heel/ankle from where the bike landed. So for that reason, I have decided to rest up today so I can hopefully do tomorrow's 7 miler, as opposed to aggravating it today and having to miss the long run tomorrow. I will of course be paying my £10 fine to the MS society for missing a training session.

What I am most gutted about is the damage to my scooter...it's always the way though, you fix one thing and something else goes wrong!! Still at least no serious injuries were had. All being well, and avoiding any further incident, you will be reading about my 7 mile run tomorrow!!
