The first time I ran 8km, I fell on the ground.
Twice.
It was my first year running, back in 2017, and I had set a goal of completing 365km that year. As the end of the year approached, I doubled down – literally – jumping from 4km to 8km in one go.
I got up and kept going until I finished the run.
I reached that 365km goal. And since I’m clumsy, it was definitely not the last time I fell while running. But when it happens, I just get up and finish what I started.
Needless to say, this post isn’t about running.
