"Oh, FUCK! Shit, that hurts!!" is what I screamed as I tripped and fell on concrete. It happened around mile 4 on Bristol Avenue, no where near home. Luckily, I only got minor scrapes on my right knee. I sat on the sidewalk to clean out the debris and thought, "This is the first time I've ever fallen during a training run. What did I do differently this morning or the night before? Hmm, maybe it was the Power Hour that I did last night." My dad suggested I wear knee pads on my future runs. Thanks for the advice, Dad!
What are your suggestions?
I think the knee pads are a good idea. Possibly adding the elbow and helmet as well, just to be safe. Just kidding, I think that you are doing great and you won't let a little fall get you down. Just walk it off! Actually in your case, run it off! Good luck LAF!
