    I've just been out for a gentle 10K minding my own business when, with about a mile to go, I suffered an incident that has never happened to me before in 40,000 previous training miles.

    As my running path crossed the flight path of some fiendish bird it decided to aim its cross-hairs right at the bridge of my nose. The bomb was released and as it hit its target it became immediately apparent it was a liquid purple one! Oh yes, one of those!

    It became a double whammy. Before I had registered the initial hit, the splat effect had bounced into my left eye causing an almighty stinging sensation and forcing me to a halt.

    The miscreant didn't hang around to face the music. I have been the victim of a hit and run!


    Now how do I claim compensation and where from? :p

    LOL thats is one funny story. So brave of you to share it...no sympathy here!

    Were there any witnesses to the incident? :rotfl:

    I hope you're not laughing at my misfortune!! :rolleyes:

    When someone tells me they've 'been shat upon from a great height' from now on - I'll know exactly how they feel!!

    I bet the culprit has gone to crow about it to his mates now!:p

    Please can someone FORCE me to go running? I'm cold, I'm tired, I'm bored and I'm trying to justify not going (in my head)......

    BUT, if I go, I will feel great!

    So please, kick me up the bum or something. :o


    (not laughing at that story at all btw... :rotfl: :rotfl:)

    Do it because you'll be happy later when you're done and if you dont you'll feel guilty all evening...
