Thought I'd let everybody know about my run today. To say the least, the last few days have been trying. I had a pretty terrible run out Christie Road yesterday - just no energy or anything. Then, this morning's run was worse. I ran two loops in Frostburg by myself. I absolutely did not want to be running today, but made it all of the way through the run. I was headed down Mount Pleasant Street and rounded the corner at the bottom of the hill. I must have hit a patch of ice because my legs went out from under me and then I smacked my chin off of the pavement. I only had about 300 meters back to the car and I looked down to see my shirt covered in mud, but then I realized that it was blood.
I went to my parent's and got cleaned up and didn't think about stitches or anything. My mom thought that I should go to the hospital and my Dad thought that a stitch would close it up. Well, I went home (had the day off of work) and then I told Jackie about it and I wouldn't let her see it. I went into the bathroom and looked again and decided to go and see what they could do about it.
3 and a half hours later, I am all patched up with 5 stitches in my chin. I wish I could show you guys what this looked like before the stitches. Well, anyway at least it wasn't somebody's sidewalk that did my in!!!
I'll post pics tomorrow

it was probably ice leftover from snow melting from a sidewalk that wasn't shoveled

This is my shirt covered in blood. All happened in the amount of time it took me to run the last 300 meters and drive to my parent's. About 3-4 minutes.
