Hope you have a quick recovery.Got some new running shoes a couple of weeks ago, went for a short run on my lunch break last Wednesday, rolled my ankle after 1km!
Swelling has been pretty bad, along with the bruising, and still looks a mess 9 days later. Pain suddenly increased last couple of days so went A&E yesterday and turns out I have a small avulsion fracture of the fibula. 6 weeks recovery apparently.
Oh well, feet up watching football and eating chocolate all weekend!

I was going to say that it's probably the effect of the mountains but Cartmel isn't in the Lakes. Are you planning to venture into the north Lakes? It could be worth testing it among the fells.I'm on a short break in the Lake District, and did this 6.5km run yesterday in the evening sunshine. Lovely scenery, and an enjoyable run, even with that long uphill section.
However, my Garmin watch has messed up the lap markers on my run. The 2km mark is under the 3. The 4km mark is under the 5. The 1km mark is at the start and end, and it's missed out the 6km altogether.
Is this something I should report to Garmin, or should I see how my next few runs turn out? This is my second run with a new watch. I had no problems with the Garmin watch it replaced, and the first run with it was ok.
I've done the same run in reverse direction this evening. Same result. I think I'll report to Garmin as a fault.I was going to say that it's probably the effect of the mountains but Cartmel isn't in the Lakes. Are you planning to venture into the north Lakes?
