Personal:

I was a single mom. Two times over. We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions. Then, I met a man I didn't deserve. And he loves me so much. And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer. Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now. But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway. This is my failure blog now. Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

I will not be running for a while, but am grateful to be alive. I was at work last night with my partner and some firefighters at a car wreck strapping a pt to the cot when a car skidded into us at about 70mph and hit us. I flew about 30 feet. It tore my knee open and I have some road rash on my head but no broken bones. They sewed me up and sent me home, will know more about the extent of the damage when I see the doc tomorrow. I can bear partial weight and hobble with crutches so that is a good sign. Might be better when the swelling goes down my leg is huge. We all suffered only extremity injuries which is amazing. We are all very lucky to be alive, that kind of impact is fatal more often than not! I am just happy to be alive, had a fleeting thought for a sec that I was about to die, but hit the ground and my leg hurt so knew I was very much alive.

Oh my gosh oh my gosh! That just put a huge pit in my stomach! I can't even imagine how lucky you all were to have not been killed. Seventy MPH! Thirty feet! Still, I am soso sorry about your knee. Keep us updated on here, please!

I just texted you. I am sick to my stomach too for you. But man alive I am so glad you are okay.

Oh man, I'm so glad it wasn't worse. Wow. No broken bones is great news. Yeah definitely keep up updated. Glad that you are (generally) ok.

Oh jezz, really sorry April. Glad you are alive, and not severely injured, same to your partner. I don't even know what else to say. Scary.

From Rachelle on Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 18:37:57 from 159.212.71.200

So incredibly glad that you are okay April. And glad that everyone involved is okay. I am definitely thinking about you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

. . . I am the Lord who heals you. —Exodus 15:26

Hang in there April, I will pray for a good report from the doctor!

From Tracy on Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 13:16:42 from 209.175.177.37

This entry took my breath away! God was with you that night for sure! I'm also praying for a good report!

I hope everyone involved is doing okay.

WHAT!? Scary! I am sorry this happened. You must have had guardian angels because that most certainly could have killed you. I'll pray you heal quickly and are continually watched over in your job. Wow, I don't know how you do it.

From Rob Murphy on Sat, Apr 27, 2013 at 14:15:46 from 24.10.249.165

Wow! The thoughts and prayers of the Murphy family are going out to you.
