Waited til really late this evening to do my w7r1 - was going to give it a pass because it's so hot but had a go late this evening. Ran a different route as I didn't want to chance the cycle track late in the evening. 10 mins into the run I tripped on an uneven pavement and flew like a bird but less gracefully grazing both my knees. I got up and carried on until a gnat flew into my mouth and then realised I had forgotten to un pause my timer. From bad to worse is an understatement. Walked the rest of the way home feeling sorry for myself. A bit like life in general - doesn't always go to plan 😳

Aw Emmaball, thats a shame.
BUT
1. You did go out to run today even though its been sweltering all day
2. You ran for over 10 minutes
3.You got up and carried on like a trooper
4. You had a little snack😆
Those minutes running are not wasted they are banked in your legs and will make you stronger...
Rest day/s then carry on... hope you're knees are not too sore.xx

CONGRATULATIONS on reaching the 'I tripped and skinned my knee(s) but did not give up on Running' milestone It really does seem to be a rite of Passage here to stumble at least once
Glad you are OK and no lasting damage - but I do recommend a wee bit more protein for your Runs than a gnat will supply
Wishing you many happy miles, stumble-free. You will have that wee Graduate Badge beside your name pretty darn soon
