Week 7 of 18 10km | Easy Ironically, Blkbox, SydneyGal & I were discussing last Saturday the dangers of running in the Sydney Eastern Suburbs at night because of the uneven footpaths and protruding tree roots. You know where I'm headed here .... I started my run last night by heading up York Road, which boarders Centennial Park. Big trees and bad lighting. You get the picture. Not long into my run my left foot caught the raised footpath in a pitch black section. I stumbled, lurching over for 3 or 4 steps like a pilot in an uncontrollable downward spin. I thought I could recover and avoid a crash. Nope, I landed will full force on my left ribcage. Then followed with my palms, a scrape of my knee and finally my left cheekbone were all skidding to a halt on the concrete. I laid there face down in the dark, winded for about 20 seconds. Got up. Thought about turning around and walking home. Then walking slowly in the direction of Bondi Beach. After that I managed to finish the 10kms that I started but arrived home stiff in the left knee, bloody in the palms and very sore in the exhale. I couldn't sleep on my left side last night and rolling over was pretty sore. Feeling OK this morning albeit a tad sore here and there. Might take the night off tonight. LOL Mood: --->
