Running during an Earthquake.

[Vixchile]

Yesterday, while I was out doing my run Chile had an Earthquake 5.4! Now usually I would notice this in the apartment on the 12 floor but while running I didn't feel a thing!!! Only realised as it was in the local paper.

Whaaat? That's amazing. Maybe it happened when both feet were off the ground

[Vixchile Graduate in reply to runswithdogs]

Maybe!! what was most surprising is it made the news!! Must be a slow news day in chile.

Now that's what I call being focussed on your running!

How's your groin strain today? xx

[Vixchile Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

It's going well, the rest is doing well. I will ok for next week!! Zip lining would not have been fun!!

How was it for you? Did the Earth move? ( sorry , couldn't resist that one. )

Well that's one up on most of us I guess! What's next? Volcano running? At least you were safe! How was the run? X

😊 Now you mention volcano running, Maybe in December!! Visiting the avenue of volcanoes, luckily they are dormat. there are a couple in Chile that have been pretty active, so try to avoid volcano running here. That's what I love about chile you are always reminded how powerful Mother Nature really is 😊

Anaverageman got there before me on the "did the earth move" joke I thought you'd injured yourself, young lady? You shouldn't have been out training. Sounds like running Karma biting you on the bum to me

[Vixchile Graduate in reply to Vixchile]

Blimey..... we don't really get them in the UK...I cant imagine what it must be like... take care

[Anaverageman Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

had one in Kent a month or so ago!! ( think if memory serves correct it was a force 4 on the Richter scale ( which is a logarithimic one so about 100 time less intense than the Chilean one)

Twitter had great fun with 'pics of the Kent earthquake'.. a wheelie bin fell over.. etc.

It's strange at first but when your on the 12floor you can feel sway or pop depending on type of quake. It makes you appreciate builders and architects!!
