The strong wind/cold/rain in my face and a fall is NOT what I ordered for completion of my Week 7!!! Running for 25 min is hard without this kind of top-ups!!! Still, pleased with myself as managed to complete R3 even thought I thought about quitting some 5 times during the 25 minutes!!!

Fortunatelly no blood but still, evidence is evidence! lol ;-) :-D

Onto week 8 - may wait until the cold wave is gone though...

Thanks Thehandyman! Yes, I was fine, it was more of a shock than anything... :-)

I think most of us have had a fall or two..

You don't like running in the cold weather?

Do you think? I guess if I have another one, it will be a new norm then haha... it is always hard with the first one... I used to fall a lot as a kid, but not as a 40+ year old... this is where the shock came from lol...

Sure it's bound to happen is it not lol even at 40 something 😉

Yes, but when it happens later in life... it is somehow more embarrasssing... 😁
