Here I was thinking that I was just a klutz on the bike because I wasn’t used to it. Not so. Apparently I’m just a klutz, period. Check out my knees (and you can’t see it, but I think my right index finger is sprained) from my fall on my run today. Ugggggg.
Ignore the ugly hair – you’d look like crap too if you just ran 20 miles.
At least I have cute running shoes.
And my fall was only at mile 9 of a planned 20 mile run. I’m lucky like that. So now my knees match my elbows from fall after fall after fall on my bike.
Thankfully, I’m tough and I will be ok. 🙂
And I did survive our first 20 miler of the Chicago Marathon Training Cycle. 20.2 miles at 8:12 pace with 164 avg HR. It’s all good. I’m feeling really good about the training! 🙂
Here is the training group that you all hear so much about (about 1/2 of us are training for Chicago and the rest for Twin Cities) So much fun!
Not quite sure why I’m slouching backwards like that 🙂
Runnin' From The Law 
Looks like a fun group! Sad for your knees, especially that you were only at mile 9. Way to get it done anyway and to be TOUGH. 🙂 Congrats on the first 20 of the cycle.
Ouch! Sounds like something I would do. Great job with the 20!!
Great 20 miler! But how the heck did you fall?!?!
It takes a special kind of talent! 🙂
We were running downtown Minneapolis on sidewalks at that point and there was a tree with low branches, so I was looking at that and trying to duck to avoid having my head chopped off and didn’t see that the sidewalk was uneven and down I went!
Haha – ouch! Very impressive pace for 20 on a relatively high mileage week! Can’t wait to see you take some names in Chicago!
I did a 5K today and my friend was saying she avoided the sidewalk for fear of that very thing! Ouch–looks very painful. Twenty miles–hard to imagine that distance just yet. Nice!
