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.

Not what you're looking for?
