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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

So strange... Just 3days ago I submitted a Fml about how i broke my leg whilst celebrating my first race win... Dont you love it when your stories dont get posted only to be posted in a slightly different manner shortly after?

I moderate the fml's a lot. I've seen some strange and sad stuff on there. Only once i've seen that, it was about someone cheating on the op, but grammar was bad, clicked no.

So people generally judge by grammar?

I do with regards FML submissions, #60. I'm not going to click 'Yes' if the OP is going to make me work to understand the FML.

Just a minor set back bro, your leg will heal back stronger than before and you be back in the game. Just more motivation to win!

at least you trained hard for a year? Most people can't even run 1/4 mile without gasping for breath. Did you compete in the Tough Mudder competition?

Just think of all that broken leg sympathy and action you'll get. "Awww poor thing" Polly wanna cracker?

Take that as a sign that you are too fragile to be an athlete. You should sit on a couch, eat chips and watch sports on TV. If you can't be an athlete, you can at least be an athletic supporter.

Looks like someone hoped you broke a leg.
