today, i set out for only a ten miler as it happened in the sun. i have no time later tonight- shields followed by cookout party.
i was only a few yards from the gate at Ida Lewis, where i finish my run and walk back to my house when a silver mercedes SUV plowed me down, and only plowed harder once i started screaming.
and like that, that was my first encounter being hit by a car when running. i have lost my non being hit by a car virginity. and i'm a little annoyed by that. no painful injuries luckily. just sore. if i notice anything suspicious, i'll have it checked out. don't worry, dad. (he's worrying)
i decided to take off from work today to recover from my grievous encounter. i could have been squashed flat. which really enrages me because that is NOT the way i plan to make my triumphant exit one of these days.
after my shower, for whatever stupid reason, i decided to put one of those silicone packs in my mouth (the kind that comes in vitamins and shoe boxes) and me being me, somehow chewed it open, and all of those little tiny balls spilled all out into my mouth. so i started spitting and sputtering and removing them from my system. the bag says "if ingested, seek immediate medical attention".... great.
although if i showed up at the emergency room, they'd probably attempt to commit me if i told them i've been hit by a car, swallowed silica, and have a broken toe.
