Fall when ruining

Wk 2 run 3 was Friday..I was really looking forward to my 6am start and getting excited. It was a lovely morning but half way thro I approached a parked van with its boot half open, because it was so desolate it slightly unnerved me then two large dogs started barking and I jumped out of my skin! I honestly thought they were going to maul me to death. Anyway they were actually in a cage and couldn't get out but I didn't realise that and It didn't stop me from stumbling and falling badly hurting my knees and elbow . I got up and carried on tho ..upset that I'd got out of sync. Wk 3 run 1 in the morning ..feeling bruised and a little nervous but don't want to give up.

Ouch! I hope it doesn’t put you off running again. Did their owner say anything to you when you fell?

No..he didn't even get out!! I jumped up and carried on then thought surely I must be due to stop running by now why can't I hear anything! I looked at my arm and my phone had fallen out of the armband holder ..so I had to go back to the van and dogs for it. At least i should have another morning like that haha 😁

Indeed, hope it heals quickly and not too sore when you head out next time.

You were brave to carry on, I probably would have cried and gone home pathetically haha! Hope the rest of your runs are kinder to you!

Well done for carrying on and boo to the dog owner for being irresponsible and uncaring. Like happysouls I would have probably cried and limped home too!
