[The King!]

Got attacked out on a run recently in the evening , feels stupid , had to go to hospital get x-rays.

He launched into me and got me front on, i was unbalanced and went rolling onto the road. I am not a little fella, he was huge. Jumped up told him to **** off

As it wore off couldn't breathe well.

Anyway x-rays and drugs etc, then you have to breathe deep regularly to avoid pneumonia. Then after a week i could run again but it hurt , shouldn't have tired and pissed down and got a bad infection and virus.

Running keeps me sane , anyway this all seems trite but then i get told not to minimalise it but i feel
pathetic over it.
But its in my head to go running in the neighbourhood now cos this was my local
quiet safe area and this dickhead just out there , it's gets in your head even though I feel silly admitting that.

Every time you cough and sneeze and it's hurts you feel angry and yeah sorry for myself and then I feel bad for feeling sorry for myself , when I consider myself very lucky.

Anyway I am getting better the virus is more
annoying and I ran somewhere else tonight 5k which is positive so hopefully on the right path.

But it's been frustrating and a test, even just worried about my kids going out for a walk and then not being safe etc.

That's just some of the story and I know it sounds like nothing but I don't like feeling scared

Holy crap mate. I'm glad you're still here with us. Can't ever tell the outcome of these things, but I'd say right out there's nothing to feel 'stupid' about. Please tell me you reported it to the cops? the next person might not be so lucky.

I'm going to say that that feeling you have is pretty much what every woman deals with when walking at night. Every. Time.

You have a right to feel safe in your local, and that's now been taken away. That's also mother nature kicking in those age old instincts and reminding you how we humans made it through - and you will make it through.

Yep that's the other thing my wife will go running and my two daughters like too but i make them just run up and down outside the house. Be much worse if them , think that part ****s with the head more.

I just wanted to post somewhere I sort of know people/but also don't really ha ha to get it off my chest.

I have female running friends etc who have had a lot of bs happen it's horrible and yeah I will recover so feel a bit guilty .

Anyway thanks for letting me vent , i'll take back my streets over time. Think because running is my mental release it made it harder .

 

[TheGoatBaron]

You always have to be vigilant with that sort of stuff. Some cookers out there. Hope you get better soon and get back into running again

There's no need or reason to feel guilty. My point was that I empathise with that feeling you're getting because I've felt it more than once.

Hope they catch the sod - and I hope you reported it.

Seriously that's disgusting and just keep running , it shouldn't stop you doing what you love and even i know that .
You were great support for me going back when i was ill , so good luck and hopefully the rat get's his own

Goat and i are happy to row down Bass Strait with a peace pipe and an AK47

There is something you can do. Get a camera like the cops use (mount on the shoulder I think) and wear it when you're out running. If you see him make sure you get video and take it to the cops, especially if he comes at you. If you report to the cops be sure to use the phrase "I was afraid for my safety". The cops are supposed to respond to that.
Be positive in yourself, there's plenty on here barracking for you, and for each other.

Hey Kingy.
I just saw this now mate.
That's bloody terrible & it's no wonder you are feeling scared.

Don't let it stop you from doing something you love. Even if it's a different course.
Hope you feel better physically & mentality & get back to where you should be and that is free in the mind to do what you enjoy.
Cheers mate.

Have you seen him again?

 

[The King!]

Nope but haven't run along there much to be honest , avoided it

Easy to understand. Take care.

 

[Bonz]

For every few steps forward I tend to have a few big ones back.

Last 48 hours have been tough, some shit is happening (that is no bloody fault of my own) and I'm going to have to make a really shit choice soon.

Honestly kind of give up at this rate, absolute bullshit.

(Not looking for attention or advice, just wanting to vent somewhere).

Why do we apologise for looking for attention anyway.
