    I have a problem staying upright while running.  Particularly on hills.  In addition to these two separate falls, I've also ripped two pairs of running tights this winter from falling!

      I see it now.  I thought they were the same pics.  Be careful!

        Do you fall during yoga a lot? I always thought I had pretty good balance, but sometimes I fall standing still.

          I'm actually pretty good at yoga...I can do a lot of the harder balances.  I think I work better when focused.  I daydream when I run a lot and don't pay attention!

            I do the same thing.  It's a good thing there are no mountains or cliffs here because I would run right off of one!

              At least you've got it confined to hills. I have a tendency to wipe out in a sorts of placesSad, although I guess I should at least be happy that I've been in shorts and didn't need to worry about wrecking tightsBig grin.

                Well MJ5 I guess you are going to have to come out west to learn to stay upright...

                Express it.

                  One of my favorite trail runs during the summer is the Thunder Mtn trail. It's 7 miles out and back all above 8000ft. It runs along an ancient basalt flow and is...rough...to put it mildy. It's quite steep in places and every time I run it, I place "very close attention" to my foot placements thinking the entire time "If I scrub...this rock is gonna turn my flesh into hamburger".

                   

                  I haven't scrubbed...yet. **grin**

                  We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder.
                  We always have the choice.
