Well done! That's awesome.

Currently sitting in an urgent care waiting for shoulder and chest x-rays after a nasty fall on a pre-dawn run this morning.

I was shuffling my feet a little and didn't see a huge chunk of uneven sidewalk in the dark. Went flying, arms in front of me, and landed directly on my right elbow shooting some massive impact shock up my forearm and into my shoulder.

I'm so depressed about the possibility of having to sit a few weeks out if this turns out to be a disclocation or fracture. I have limited mobility in my arm RN. :/

The running thread is as up and down as the sport itself, doug. Lenny's success in the grand scheme of things comes at a cost I have stepped up to pay.

that was me before 2020
I don't really care how fast I run. I just run to avoid an eventual heart attack or stroke. I can achieve those results with a 12-13 minute mile.

Just a sprain :hooray:

Ice, antobiotics for the abrasions, 800 mg ibuprofen and a head lamp for next time, whenever that is.

Thanks for the support, running thread.

Ribs are more sore today than a few days ago. Compression of any kind hurts at about a 6/10 pain scale. What's up with that? No running for me tomorrow AM.
