My first fall


I don't recall ever falling over whilst running before. Cycling? All the time, usually when I have stopped cycling and I couldn't get my clips out in time or I oversteered my handlebars on my Brompton.


I was half way through my 40 minute run on Wednesday.  Just took the above photograph and then I noticed some workers in the industrial estate which I wasn't expecting. As I checked to see who was there, I thought the pavement had levelled out but it was still sloping up and splat! 

Just grazes thankfully to my hand, elbow and knee on my right side. Also a couple of broken nails and one will bruise. As I still had 20 mins run left, I got up and carried on.

I cancelled Body Pump though as I wouldn't have been able to kneel or rest on my palms or elbows. 

This morning, I struggled to get up so I completed a 30 minute mix run, running fast and then walking etc with jogging at the start and end.
