Not cool. Haha. So I was two miles into my run and it was pitch black as I ran along Redwood Highway. I thought to myself 'I miss being able to see when running at 5:30 in the morning like it was in June/July.' Not more than 10 seconds later I clipped something with my foot and fell face first into the ground. I still couldn't see that well but realized that I had ran into a construction zone and the sidewalk that I had been running along no longer existed. I had hit some buildup of asphalt and fallen down into gravel, dirt, etc and a few minutes later blood was covering the palms of my hands, left forearm and left leg. Not cool. Anyway, I 'brushed myself off' so to speak and ran the next seven miles before taking a painful shower and pulling gravel out of my skin. |
