Started out on a Tempo run in Las Vegas this afternoon.  The traffic was crazy and I was being pretty careful.  At about 8 miles I got hit by truck.  It was a guy talking on his cell phone that pulled up to the sidewalk and slowed. As I passed around the front he suddenly gunned it to jump out into traffic between the cars.  I barely saw it out of the corner of my eye and was able to jump up enough so he hit me hard on the hip and I rolled over the top and behind the truck.  I lay there on the road and couldn't believe how lucky I was.  The driver was bawling but still wouldn't get out of his truck and some lady in another car was screaming at 911 on her cell phone.  But when I picked myself up aside from road rash all over I felt fine so I took off running again since I had a flight to do back to Denver in two hours.  When I walked in the lobby of the hotel the concierge just freaked out with all the blood and talked me into going to the hospital so I got removed from my trip a day early and spent the evening in a Vegas hospital.  Still can't believe how lucky I was!  Everyone be careful out there with cell phones, texting and busy people!

Leopards 5K in Salt Lake.  I barely made it up to the starting line in time because I was trying to get a warm up in this morning.  But a very fun course!  I took about 4 Motrins before the race hoping to deaden out the accident from Thursday and thankfully didn't even feel it!  Since some of the race was downhill I ran in my "Fat Man" shoes, Assics Gel Kayanos.  First time I ran a 5K in shoes that heavy but I didn't want to hit downhills today in flats.  The first mile went pretty fast, I was stuck in a large group of people I was trying to get around though.  I knew I had to try and catch Rob who I knew would be running somewhere around a 5 minute pace, but I never saw him.  I tried to catch the 4 guys ahead but they took off on the last mile and left me.
