Starting again
Ok got the clearance to run with this fracture heals. Other than the sweat in the cast causing it to stink, can anyone think of other issues I might face running with a cast for 4+(?) weeks (other than falling!)?

There's an article about that on 'Run The Planet'

I had my wrist (hand to forearem) in a cast many years ago, but I wasn't running back then, and had no trouble following my doc's advice to "take it easy while it heals".
Good luck.

I didn't have any problem with that advice when I had a broken arm, either.
Are you planning to run, Lesley? I walked 7.5k yesterday and feel like I've fractured my hips ... Clearly I need to work on my endurance again. At least I can blame part of it on being pregnant

5.48K done (thought my route was 6!) and it went ok. I covered it in saran wrap as it has been raining today. It felt ok, no pain but fingers started to swell a bit by the end.

Thanks for answering so quickly.
Mouse
Thanks for checking in on me.
It is a fibreglass with the sleeve thing underneath and I guess just walking today something chafed...might try to put a little chamois butter along the rim next time.

I had a fiberglass cast as well and got terrible chafing. I think it's just a fact of life with casts when you're not a couch potato. Okay, so I was a couch potato and still got chafing.
Way to go for getting out there! I saw your FB photos and I've got to say you've done RM proud with the colour of the cast
