My first fall!

This morning I was running the first run of week 7 in my local park when I came across a very bouncy greyhound who obviously thought I wanted to play. He came running over to me and in trying to avoid him I actually fell over him onto (luckily) the grass. What an idiot! However I got up and carried on running. I saw them again as I continued round the park and the owners were very apologetic but no harm done and I finished my run so yay!

Glad no real harm done and you could bounce back up and style it out!
