Sure it's all Fun and Games until the Road Rash

I have some breaking advice from the world of over 40 pre-dawn running!  You have to pay attention all the time!!  This morning, what a rare treat when hubby who had a busy day decided to join me on my run!  Little did I know how handy it would be, if say I was planning to be too busy talking about breaking in my shoes to watch for the curb in pitch dark and face plant in front of I don't know, 30 cars.  Okay it might have been 3.  What a break he was there in case he needed to call an ambulance!  Fortunately no ambulance was needed.  Nothing will remind you of how cool you aren't like a fresh case of road rash.

Don't be jealous.  Luckily it was not a bad fall.  I was able to brace myself.  I am fine.  Hubby will forever mourn that he did not have his cell phone camera poised and ready to take a video.  He probably won't make that mistake on our next run.  I think I will forgo my pitch dark run tomorrow am.  I suspect I might be a little sore in the morning.  I will wait it out and see how I feel after work. 

Before work or after work all senses will be fully engaged in my next run and my mouth will be closed.  Maybe my teachers had a point all those years.  "Kathy, closed mouth eyes front."  Maybe that is my new running mantra!  Lastly I will wear this proudly because you know when you never get road rash?  Sitting in front of the TV eating Ben and Jerry's.
