Week 8 Run 1

6 Replies

Just back from my run. 5 mins in and my toe caught on a paving slab and I went flying! Two grazed hands and a grazed knee, turned around to go back home. A few minutes later I felt a bit less shocked so resumed the run. Feel better for it now but hands and knees are a bit sore. Lovely sunshine this morning though. 😊

Oh no! Glad you’re not too injured and great job on being able to complete the run. Literally picking yourself up and keeping going 🏃

So sorry about your fall Runnymede while running run 1 of week 8, I would advise you to take a few extra days off running until you run, run 2 of week 8,

Will do, thank you 😊

Hope you are feeling ok today. Adrenaline kicks in at the time but sometimes you feel the pain later on. As AlMorr says, best to take it easy for a while :)

Thank you. Yes was very sore yesterday but a bit better today, going to take a break for a few days.
