Did you try rubbing dirt on it? (Good luck feel better hope it's nothing major) (But also try rubbing dirt on it)

OH NO!!! Heal up real quick. If it makes you feel any better, I did half of my training for my second marathon in a full arm cast after breaking my elbow. They kept wondering why I returned multiple times for a fresh cast...I couldn't tell them it was because I was still running in it and the smell was bugging me. HAHA.

All kidding aside, I hope this is a minor detour. (I would've finished the run too. :| )

As soon as I saw the subject line, I thought, "Oh no." Fingers and toes all crossed for not bad news!

I was impressed and a little envious of the workout when I saw the splits on Twitter! But given the hard fall… maybe not as much now!

I keep track of my falls. I had my worst in years the day before Valentine’s Day - tripped on something and (content warning for the squeamish) ripped part of my knee on the ground. Didn’t realize how bad it was until I was washing blood off my shoes and wondering if I need stitches.

Thankfully none were needed but I lost a full 8 days of training for a May marathon - and I’m still trying to fully recover. Best wishes for the recovery and huge props for finishing out a tough workout afterwards!
