A little โ€˜tripโ€™ ๐Ÿ™ˆ

So todayโ€™s run was quite eventful ... first my music stopped when I started the first 8 min run so I was fiddling about trying to start that without losing momentum , then I tripped over on a slab, a full to the floor one ๐Ÿ™ˆ (not many tarmac paths in my neck of the woods) and then the C25K app paused itself so I ended up running for longer than the 8 minutes the first time around .. oh my days , but I kept going ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ. Iโ€™m now nursing a grazed knee while I drink my coffee and chuckle about it ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Aah at least you carried on, shows your determination!! Similar thing happened to me with the app pausing as I was fiddling about trying to turn music up louder! I ended up running for longer!! The next run will be all the better for it!! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Ooof! We all have some runs where everyone seems to have set their alarms to set out obstacles for you, all the bins out on the pavement, all the neighbours having socially distanced chats, all the dogs out being walked and errant children just learning how to ride a bike, while the postie is out delivering mammoth packages, the bin lorries are out and supposedly following your exact route, and then the app stalls, and you realise forgot to charge your wireless headphones...etc! ๐Ÿ˜น Super well-done you for persevering, and having a good sense of humour about it! Funnily enough, those distracting runs very often end up being helpful at times by the mere fact they are distracting, and get you away from just concentrating on how much time is left!

Youโ€™re so right!! Iโ€™m just glad it was too early for most folk to be out when i fell over ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™Š

Ouch! The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I was running in the woods and tripped over a tree root. It was like slow motion flying through the air! I landed really heavily on my hands, still have a sore left wrist and still picking thorns out of my right hand that are buried deep ๐Ÿค๐Ÿคฃ Since then, Iโ€™ve been running on the beach...๐Ÿ˜‚
