So I decided to join the running group for a run, thought it be good for me to a social run. There was a special giveaway...so a lot of people showed up. I'm running and talking to people I used to run with eve weekend but haven't seen for 3-4 years. I sudden trip and fall...and not over anything. <img alt="cool.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif"> Someone said I rolled and popped up as fast as an NFL player<br><br>
I am such a doofus

 

[Grizzly]

<p>No, you're not a doofus.  Or if you are a doofus you have me as company, me and perhaps thousands of other runners who have a temporary human-pavement interface anomaly. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or you could say that we all forget the first rule of running:  Left, Right, Repeat.  Glad you weren't hurt.</p>

<p>Hah!  You have a long ways to go before you can beat me as a doofus.  I have fallen FOUR (4) times this year.  The last one about 4 weeks ago which gave me a badly bruised left elbow and arm as well as a lot of missing skin off my left knee.  My doctor said I should refrain from running for 6-8 weeks.  Like most runners, I listened to him and said thank you.  I did a 14 mile group run yesterday and man it felt good.  Best of all, I did not fall.  And what my doctor doesn't know won't hurt him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the other hand Aflac is paying me $300.00 for my trouble in addition to my medical insurance covering the doctor's costs.</p>

<p>Ouch.  That hurts...the pride.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I fall down more than anyone I know.  Mr Aire loves for me to wear heels.  Worst.combo.ever.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On Thurs, wearing some really high heels, I tried to get my mail.  The box is new, so the lid stuck and my starbux ended up splashing all over me and hitting the ground.  I picked it up, stepped forward, and faceplanted--in a dress.  All in front of my house.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bruised knee,</p>
<p>lost coffee</p>
<p>no mail.</p>

<p>Guess I"m in that club, too.  Last weekend I was doing the Koman 3-Day for the Cure.  I was walking in the street, then for whatever reason decided to step up onto the sidewalk.  My foot failed to clear the curb and I fell flat.  The two girls I was walking with stopped to be sure I was okay.  The guy behind us walked around.  Nice...  Oh, and I screwed up my right shoulder, again.</p>
