Today, after months of grueling training and countless early mornings, I finally began the race I had been preparing for over the past year, only to slip and break my leg in the first 450 meters. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took part in a charity run for a good cause. I'd trained for months and showed up, only to trip and fall flat on my face at the starting line. I spent the rest of the race with scraped knees and a bruised ego. FML
Today, my third day training for a half marathon, I tripped and broke both of my ankles and one wrist. FML
Today, after training for 3 months for a marathon, three weeks from race day I tripped and fell during my last long run and cracked a rib, so I took ten painful days off. I decided to go try a short run to see if maybe I could still try the race, and got attacked by a German Shepard. FML
Today, I completed my 6-month training program for a track competition this weekend. I went to the park to run anyways because I needed some air after my boyfriend broke up with me. After one lap, my neighbor's 130 lb dog ran across the soccer field and jumped on me to say hi. My leg is broken. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML
Today, I managed to break my ankle by running it over with the wheelchair I've used on a daily basis for the last 6 years. FML
Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. FML
Today, I decided to begin jogging since my weight was getting a little out of control and I wanted to do something about it. Guess who tripped on a root and broke their ankle? Yeah. Exactly. FML
Today, I went for a run to get in shape for the first time in ages. I put on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Halfway through, the sole of one shoe came off, and I had to hobble back home in embarrassment. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

All the speed in the world doesn't matter if you don't watch where you're going.

No training can prepare one for wet asphalt

I'm sure he wasn't trying to fall.

have you ever done track? when you push off you are on the edge of falling over and at that speed a few pebbles can make you fall. don't say stupid things unless you could do better..

Morgan, training on wet asphalt can prepare you for wet asphalt.

You should have tried training with a broken leg. It might have helped.

He tried. Or else he would have fell at the starting point.
theghost1309 11
And how do you practice not slipping? Since that was the reason they fell
StopDropNRoll 11
Maybe he can practice how to land when he slips so he doesn't break anything?

Youre hot.

Wow... Guess you didn't train hard enough?

..... Because training has everything to do with "don't fall. Practice not falling."
fatraptorjesus13 9
yes because training prevents accidents.....i guises your parents didn't train enough ;)

Are you ******* stupid? Even the best athletes in the world get injured, it has nothing to do with how much you train.

If it was a 450 meter race then it's not that bad.

He broke it in the first 450 meters.

#43 - Clearly you didn't read the post which #40 commented on. They were pointing out that OP fell within the first 450 meters of the race considering #12 didn't understand. So, congratulations on making yourself look rude and obnoxious.
thatfrenchguy 8
#45 the joke that #12 is making is that falling 450 meters into a 450 meters race is not bad because that would mean that op has finished the race.
