Well...I guess I will consider this morning the worst running accident to date. I was heading north on Main Street running on the sidewalk. I was passing a small dealership and I have always had a fear of taking a corner of a license plate right to the shin. I was clipping along in the center of the sidewalk and the next thing I knew, I was lying on the concrete in the fetal position. A metal fence post was bent forward and I caught it right in the middle of my left quad. I finally made it to my feet and hobbled 3 miles back to my car. I am scared for how it will feel later today and tomorrow.

Today was definitely the most hazardous morning of the winter thus far... random/small/unexpected ice spots all over the place.

Hope this doesn't cause you too much trouble.

That doesn't sound too fun. Hopefully it doesn't bother you too much

Thanks Jake and Hille.

It surprisingly doesn't hurt too bad today. I may try and get out tomorrow for something easy just to get blood flowing if I can.

Hope you both enjoy your Christmas!
