On the Bench again
They say bad things come in threes. I don't know who the they are that said this, or how they found out that that was how bad things came,‥but‥last week, they were spot on.Monday evening while tucking into some popcorn after my run I fractured a rear tooth. Two trips to the dentist where required to fix it. The next day I figured out why they have those straight lines across automatic opening glass doors. They are for old fools like me who insist on walking into the and cracking their nose and eye socket.
These two mishaps did not effect me running more is the pity, Thursday night out for a 16 mile long run when I had to quickly change the course of direction because some fool of a driver thinks they can fly out of their driveway across the footpath without looking. 100 yards later and my right Achilles/calf is giving me bother so I cut the run short. Luckily i was less then a mile from home when it happened so I hobbled home.
So yesterday as I left the dentist limping, black eye and unable to feel my chin from the anesthetic feeling sorry for myself. I wont be able to see my Physio as he was booked till Christmas . At the moment walking is a struggle so at best I will most likely be on the sidelines for a couple of weeks.
A Night to remember
Anyone who is not to busy over the Christmas pencil in a great night of music in the Templegate hotel in Ennis on the 27th of December. Its a benefit night for that famous Fantasy drummer Frankie Lundy. Frankie has had the misfortune to have Huntington's so all proceeds are going to a very worthy cause.
