Today, I went on a run. Going a decent pace, I passed a woman walking her dog. I joked, "C'mon! Keep up!" Thirty feet later I stepped in mud, rolled my ankle and fell. The woman walked by as I lay in agony, and told me to keep up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while on my daily jog, I passed a very attractive girl. While passing her, she yelled "hey cutie". Trying to look cool, I tried turning around without stopping. I then fell off the curb and severely sprained my ankle. She caught up to help but was laughing the entire time. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML
Today, I was feeling motivated to improve my unhealthy miserable life and went for a jog. Halfway through, I tripped on my own shoelace and scared a couple walking their dog. According to my wife, it's already been gossiped about in our neighborhood. FML
Today, I went for my first morning run in years. I made it half a block before tripping over nothing and face-planting in front of a dog walker. The dog looked genuinely concerned. The walker didn’t. She just snorted and carried on walking the dog. FML
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, 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
Today, as I was jogging on the boardwalk, an old guy tripped me with his cane. As I was getting back up, I heard him say to his wife, "I wanted to see if she would actually fall." FML
Today, I went for a run, and my own dog attacked me. FML
Today, I was running on the treadmill at my local gym when I saw a girl I like a lot. I called out to her to say hi. As she was coming over, I accidentally stepped on the belt with one foot, crashed down on the treadmill, and continued to slide down in front of her, emerging with a gashed knee and arm. FML

You deserved it because the woman could have easily taken it as an insult.

I didn't realize that not running while walking your dog is now a bad thing? Why take what he said offensively. He's running while she is walking her dog. You and all the other people saying YDI are imbeciles.

It's douchey comments like the one you made that make it difficult for overweight folks, like myself, to go out and exercise with others watching. You deserved it.

She took the playful banter too seriously, I see.

YDI and FYL. I do sympathize with you rolling your ankle but maybe you shouldn't act like an arrogant punk when running next time.

Sucks to be on the receiving end of karma, doesn't it?

Don't feel bad. I've just lain there a hundred times while a woman laughed at me and told me to keep up. You'll get used to it.

Wow people, relax! Obviously the OP was just joking. Can't people joke with strangers anymore? I was once at a stop light with my bicycle and a motorcyclist came up beside me and jokingly challenged me to a race. Did I take offense? No, why would I? It's obviously a joke. He wasn't trying to insult me for not having a motorcycle (which I wouldn't want anyway). So obviously, with the woman WALKING her dog and OP RUNNING, he wasn't seriously challenging her to keep up. All of you and that woman need to learn to lighten up!

I want to wrap myself in that moment. Reading this restored my belief in justice.
