So I went on a 5 mile run earlier, and 2 and a half miles into it I somehow tripped and fell. I have never fallen while running, and it was a pretty bad fall, I kinda went sprawling on the ground. It is a bit sore and slightly purple beneath my left knee. My right knee took the brunt of the fall- it's pretty scraped up, swollen, and it hurts. I was 2 and a Half miles from home so I decided to run back, which was probably a terrible idea. I iced it for a while and now I'm just resting it. This really sucks because I'm training for the NYC half marathon and I hope this doesn't affect my running. I could really use a glass of wine

*passes you all the wine I have here too* sorry about the running injury! I haven't started my half marathon training yet but I have to start here soon. I'm worried about running in the snow and ice as well but there's no way to avoid it. Hopefully you can recover quickly!

Passing you an ice pack, bandaids and ibuprophren.

I'm about to head out with FI for a 12 miler and hopefully yesterday's snow is cleared from the trail. Miami half marathon in 2 weeks. Shout out to fellow distance runners!

Haha awesome idea @jcbride2014- 2 uses for the vodka! Thanks ladies! Still hurts but hopefully I can get a run in tomorrow. Hope you had a good run @thisismynickname! And good luck running the half!

Chin up, @pinkcow12! Hope you feel better soon! FI is a big runner (trained for NYC marathon 2012, when it got cancelled, then went for NYC 2013 but had hip issues) so I see first hand how minor injuries can be a big pain.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks chicas! Yep the minor injuries really get to you smh. Being that I never got injured from running I did not account for this. Hopefully the knee will be better tomorrow!
