Greenway flop!

It's now been about 16 weeks since the treadmill incident and even though this nasty case of plantar faciitis is lingering I am trying to do just a little bit of running - although not so gracefully.

Yesterday morning I was doing my big 1.75 mile run on the greenway. As my left foot was moving forward, it caught the shoelace of my right shoe and I went down hard like a big sack of potatoes! I laughed then pulled myself off the ground, brushed off some of the dirt and kept running. A girl running towards me asked if I was ok - I think she was trying very hard not to laugh and I don't blame her! So covered in dirt, abrasions on my arm, thigh and hand and blood pouring down my shin from my knee - why wouldn't I be ok?

So now I'm off to purchase some speed laces! I'm sure that won't be the last time I take a spill but hopefully I'm done tripping over shoelaces (wishful thinking)!!
