Not every run can be a great run and today's run was craptastic. Felt heavy and sluggish and like my legs were made of lead. I only did one tempo segment and then my tempo run became a non-tempo run. Topping off my crappy run, as I was running through the parking lot back to the gym, I was so busy chatting with my friend (who was driving in her car), that I tripped over a speed bump. Fell on right side then my left. Right leg and both hands scraped up and my left hip hurts. SMFD. This run definitely goes in the "bank".
Hopefully the leg that you fell on won't bruise up.

Actually, it's my other leg that feels beaten up, maybe because the leg I fell on first was already bent. It felt like I hit "softly" on the first leg then rolled and hit the left side ON the speed bump. SUCKS ASS.

Can you ice this leg? That might help.

Phhhfft! Glad you got that sucky run out of the way. Now, onto a better day and better runs ahead!

C, that's a great idea. Ice and a dose of ibuprofen should hopefully do the trick.

Lisa, You will laugh about it someday. I tripped on a pothole on a long run last year and face planted in the road. I had to finish the last 3 miles of the run holding my glove to my bloody face to get to my car. I ended up in the ER with 5 stitches in my chin - the day before my office formal Christmas party. It made for good conversation!

Totally craptastic run-definitely for the bank. I'm with Cristina-definitly start mainlining the advil and ice your leg. Sorry to say, but it will probably feel even worse tomorrow. Falling definitely sucks ass.
