I have been doing really well with jogging lately. I've been able to run 25 minutes plus (more like jog slowly, but it's still pretty good for me). Well, today I went out, and I had a really good pace that was faster than usual, but slow enough that I wasn't gasping for breath the entire time. Well, after about two minutes into it, I fell. Hard. On the sidewalk and busted up my left hand, knees, and left ankle. I'm kind of surprised I didn't fall earlier. I'm a really clumsy person. Thankfully, nobody saw me. I turned around and gimply walked home. Now, I'm just upset! I only have 3 weeks until my first 5K that I was going to jog/run the entire way. At first I thought I just scraped myself up, and then I saw that my right knee had almost doubled in size. Hopefully, it's just a bad bruise. But I don't feel like taking chances with my knee, so if it's not better by Tuesday, I'm calling the doctor. Hopefully it will be better in the next week so I can keep training for my 5k.
I have a friend who goes running with her dog. She fell the other day, and tried blaming it on the dog. Too bad someone saw! :P At least nobody saw you!! That is the worst part of falling, when somebody sees that it was purely your fault! :P Hope it heals quickly. Make sure you rest it up & ice it lots!
