6:30 am run...nice and chill (maybe 60ish degrees?). So I took advantage and ran 2 MP miles.

Im not sure if I blogged about this but I have really beat myself up this week.

Monday I went to my parents house. They have had some flooding issues and wante my bro and I to carry out the old hot water tank. Well my brother put it down several times without telling me and my knee went right into the tank. I have a nice bruise on my knee cap. It is okay Karma got him b/c the tank rolled on his toe. I also stubbed my toe.

They yesterday I went to get the garden hose to wash my truck. Well I had to pass over one of our sidwalks. This is where we have our sump pump pumping out water. It is kinda slimy and I forgot, I was barefoot...and I went down for the count on the side of my thigh. I have a nice bruise there and yes it hurts. Hurt more when I touch it or accidently sit on it. Right turns in my truck are brutal. I'm super surprised that I got my run in this morning.

I'm glad your interview went well yesterday.

That's too bad about all the bumps and bruises.

You've been doing a great job of getting out consistently every morning.

There's one spot where I run frequently that's always wet and slimy. Maybe there's a sump pump near by. I always have to slow way down or walk across that area because it's really slippery.

Ouch! Reminds me of a giant bruise I had once on the side of my thigh from falling on a protruding object. Take care.

Good job getting out there in spite of your aches and pains. It will make running when you are 100% seem so much easier :)
