Crashed to the floor

[LordBarrington]

Doing W2R2 this morning i tripped over a paving slab doing run interval 4. I went down in installments. Gave myself 30 secs to recover, did an extra 30 secs of running and carried on with the rest of the task...Do I count this as a failed day?

[mrstickle]

Big definite NO ! I'd count that as a fantastic achievement. Hope you recover and chose a different route maybe?

[LordBarrington in reply to mrstickle]

Thanks...I'll just pick my feet up a bit more next time

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

No way - falling over is one of the rites of passage in C25K! Well done for cRrying on!

[LordBarrington in reply to Ullyrunner]

thanks...cRying on was how i coped

[Ullyrunner Graduate in reply to LordBarrington]

Whoops - I meant carrying on of course! Hope you weren't really crying!

[millwalki8 Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

Bu**er, does that mean I'm overdue a fall?

[Noaky12 Graduate]

Absoluetly not! You picked yourself up &kept going, why would it be a failed run? Hope you didn't hurt yourself (including your pride!)

[LordBarrington in reply to Noaky12]

Nah, bruised thumb and knee was all

[poppypug Graduate]

My Lord, there is no such word on here as " F*@&"* "

You picked yourself up , dusted yourself down and carried on , theres no need to start all over again xxx

[Frank-ntj]

You should feel proud of yourself for carrying on, this run was an achievement so definitely a completed run. Hope any injuries are small ones, look forward to your next run pounding those pavements and enjoy yourself, well done.

[LordBarrington]

Thank you everyone.

[mrstickle]

There must be one of those compensation co's out there especially for our community? Slabs, Pot Holes, Dodgy Kerbs the list is endless ... maybe I'd best look into one of those headcams (love a gadget)

[LordBarrington in reply to mrstickle]

Go pro for free dough, great idea.

[mrstickle in reply to LordBarrington]

lol it's a follow-up to in-car-vids for insurance co's - just don't want a black box fitted in my trunk

[misswobble Graduate]

No. If you did the run it's done and you can tick it off

We all fall over at some point. No harm done. Just dust yourself off and press on. Scraped knees, torn leggings etc. Fortunately it's not usually serious and the only damage is to our pride

Never mind no-one saw you

[LordBarrington in reply to misswobble]

6.30am running past Lincoln Cathedral, the only one who saw me was the imp and who cares what he thinks. Thanks

[misswobble Graduate]

Wait til you're running up that hill!

They have runs that start there. That could be one for you in the future.

Enjoy your next run. Steady as you go!

[mfamilias Graduate]

No way! You finished the run, so plough on! Hope you don't get any delayed aches and pains - sometimes it only really hurts a day or so later

[LordBarrington in reply to mfamilias]

Felt fine this morning thanks, and finished w2
