I was getting ready to go for a run this morning when I fell down the stairs - the whole flight, wooden stairs, ouch.
Once I checked that I was still alive I decided to make the most of the massive adrenaline rush and run away, which was fun until I realised that I really hurt and that my hand was dripping blood (a quick detour into a café to nick a napkin did the trick). I remembered that one of the selling points of my trainers was that they're meant to be grippy - made out of Continental tyres, apparently. Fuck you, Contis.
