Activity: Runner

Injury: Yes

I started running at the top of the hill on the grassy area near coogee beach heading down to the promenade and a magpie swooped and pecked at my ears. I tried to shoo it off and it kept hanging on and swooping down. I thought I’d got rid of it and kept running and swooped and pecked at my ears and face 3 more times.
