After a paddleboard incident left me with a bit of a hole in my foot.... I had to take the bike today instead of running.

Job done, 3 supermarkets visited and everything on Mr Rs list!

I'm so sorry! I didn't realise there were comments below. It's fine now - I went paddleboarding on Friday and slipped down the bank in bare feet - must have hit something sharp as it went right through the skin of the heel and left me with a nasty looking wound.

On the mend now, bandaged up and back running yesterday, just forcing me to run a bit more on the front of my foot which is a good thing!

Thanks for the concern, I probably made it sound a lot more dramatic than it was :D
