Well, that didn’t go to plan......

I had planned on a quick 4/5k run this lunchtime, even worked my work diary around it to give me enough time. However, very stupidly this morning I managed to trip over absolutely nothing on my driveway, fell down a step and face-planted myself into the wall of the house and the metal windowsill. So instead of running as planned, I am sat here nursing a black eye and a bruised shoulder and knee, whilst feeling completely stupid ! Not quite the running day I had planned this morning !!

Oh well, no serious harm done !

Crumbs - that sounds really painful. I do hope you are OK.

More a dull ache than painful, or maybe that’s just the embarrassment I am feeling !

On no! That didn’t sound like much fun! Face planting never is. I did that to a glass door a few years ago (in front of loads of people!) and my nose (and pride) still hurts. 😂

Yes it’s never good, especially when it seems to play out in slow motion so you know exactly what is going to happen, but you can’t stop it !

Yes all OK just aching basically and decided pushing on and running probably wasn’t worth it today. Always tomorrow or the day after....
