Ouch...

So four weeks after graduating I'm still running 3 x week. I've been listening to Laura following the stepping stone podcast! I'd just started running when I realised today I was listening to Stamina...ok I thought no worries I can do this. All good on run, but as she has you running more beats per minute this took me beyond my normal route, and down a road I don't usually go! With one minute to go I fell over...fortunately it was a side road and only one person saw me and was about to rush to my aid when I jumped up and said I was fine and continued my run. All I can say is thank goodness for K tape, I had put a hole in my leggings but saved myself from a nasty scrape from said tape. My hand though is feeling like it's not quite mine. Nothing's broke (I think), but it's tingly and slightly numb. Ho hum!

Hi, it's kinesiology tape! I have dodgy knees so it just gives them some support and has helped me to carry on with my running 😉

Ah I see! So just a happy accident that it happened to be on in the place that you had your near scrape. Hope your hand feels better soon

Oh no...poor you...at least it wasn’t too bad & there weren’t many witnesses or your pride would’ve been most hurt! Hope your hand will be ok & has just had a nasty jolt...better run next time out
