On Thursday evening I prepared myself to do Run 2 of Week 9. The sky was looking threatening but I forced myself out the door. Everything was going well -Laura had just said I'd got ten minutes left to run, a few drops of rain had started to fall, and suddenly I went flying..... and crashed to the pavement. Ouch ! Luckily my only injury was to my left had - a large ugly-looking graze that really hurt (and still does). I walked the rest of the way home, nursing my injury, a little shaken up and feeling very sorry for myself But I am undeterred and intend to complete the final run either today or tomorrow. Take care out there fellow runners.....

Yes they certainly do. It looks quite nasty - but skin heals - torn running leggings don't - thankfully no damage to those !

Oooowwwww you poor thing! Thank goodness your leggings were ok - sounds trivial but they cost a packet! Hope your graze is better soon, they hurt soooo bad!

Oww, poor you, hope you are ok.

Well done for having to determination to get out again and crack on.
