4 pm run with EricD for ~5 and JH for all but last few. 90 with 6 mph S; 1614; DP 62; sun covered by a haze. Redman Tri setting up and many bikers and runners out. A really nice run until I fell.
Wish it were a good story like I wanted to see if JH could go fast enough to get out of breathe while running to get the car to pick me up...but alas it was just bad luck from running on a concrete sidewalk and catching a small lip. I know things like this happen, but it was a shock because we were cruising along and everything seemed easy and was in the runners zone and thus it seemed to come out of nowhere; it shook me hard (and it was a hard fall).
End results is two bloody knees and hands and a scraped forearm. I immediately had nausea and a spinning head (why JH took off for car) but after walking half a mile that cleared. I was (am) frustrated this might set me back a bit so took advantage of my knees not being too stiff yet to run another few miles and get rid of the extra stress. Thanks to JH for putting in some tempo pace a day early! Even still it was a nice run today and hopefully it will be tomorrow also.
