I thought I might see the guy I liked when I left class to go to the bathroom, so I took my glasses off (mistake). I was wearing heels that day and my heel got stuck on a piece of one of the stairs that was coming off (old school). I literally went flying down the stairs. I rolled, head first. I could hear myself going "whoawhoawhoawhoa" and saw people running out of the classroom across from the stairwell to check on me. I was fine, miraculously.<br /><br />Oh, and the guy I thought I'd run into on my way to the bathroom? He was in that classroom.

It could have been the universe telling you to take a break. Then you were all, "No thanks Universe." And it was all, "Well down the stairs you go." <br /><br />Rest up chica. Lots of time to train and get in those miles. ;)B.o.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09778073562721277426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-55835301633120583992014-01-27T10:37:33.995-05:002014-01-27T10:37:33.995-05:00So glad that it wasn't worse! you will heal qu...So glad that it wasn't worse! you will heal quickly--RICE & take care of yourself. <br />I am a huge klutz too.

I completely understand. Running wise, the only 5k that wasn't cancelled was a pretty big punch in the stomach. <br /><br />I'm really glad you had a good training week (except Sunday) and I know you will come back stronger.

Take it easy if you need to, you have awhile until Boston and you're pretty fit. Falls are no joke and we're not even old... <br /><br />So sorry about your bad race. It happens from time to time, and maybe the forced rest will help you in the next one. I do like how you share your training on here and the workouts- it gives me ideas for what to do!
