Bruised!

[CharliesMum11]

Well, today I have had my first stumble since starting running. I was aiming for 6k and was doing really well until I got to the local park. There was a lady with a dog coming out so I thought I'd hop on the step while she passed. What I didn't realise was that the step was slippery despite no rain. I slipped but luckily didn't fall completely but crashed into the door of the public w.c.! She was very lovely and asked if I was ok, but I felt so embarrassed I smiled, put my thumb up and ran to the park. No serious injuries except a bruised hand and a very red (redder than usual!) face!

Oh no CharliesMum11 , hope nothing hurts? I fell at parkrun a few weeks ago, everyone was lovely and to my amazement I managed to carry on and finish! We are resilient us runners....well done on whatever distance you managed to cover, better run next time x

Yes thank you Mummycav, I'm fine, just a bruised hand. You're right, we're resilient! I did manage my 6k in the end.

Even after falling you got back up and ran. Hope your ok. 😊😊

Yes thank you Buddy34, I carried on and only have a bruised hand. I was determined to finish my run as the weather was just perfect this morning. New route next time I think!
