Last night I was talking with my mom about buying my dad some running equipment for Christmas. She was complaining about how expensive a sport it is. I told her that once the initial items are bought then it's a pretty cheap sport but has lots of great benefits. So this morning while I was out running I was thinking about our conversation. I was thinking about how much our taking up running has improved our lives and health. I was close to the end of the run and was having a great time thinking about how great I've felt over the last 3 1/2 years. The song "Kryptonite" was playing on my ipod and I truly felt like Superman...until I tripped.
The tip of my toe caught on a raised piece of pavement and next thing I know I'm flying just like Superman. I landed in the push-up position before I slid on my belly like a seal for several feet. Do you know how much force that puts on your arms, shoulders and back to fly down into that position?! Fortunately I was wearing gloves otherwise my hands would be hamburger. As it is the scrapes I do have didn't even break the skin and I didn't tear any holes in my clothes either. A couple Tylenol have taken the achiness away so I'm good.

I know exactly how much for that put on your arms because I just did a belly flop in the snow a little over a week ago. I was trying to walk up a snowy hill in boots (once again I was after the perfect family photo) and my feet came right out from under me.
I slipped HARD. My triceps felt like I had worked out for days but really all I did was fall on my face. I'm glad you are okay!
