hit by a bike from behind-- went to the ER.  Concussion, memory loss, have 7 staples in my head now.  convinced that now I need to wear a light even when it's pretty light outside.

awww sorry Emily :-( This is such a dangerous time of year in the mornings. Everyone is still in summer-mode, but its dark until 7am now.

Hope you are doing OK.

So scary! Sorry to hear that. Best of luck on the recovery!

Thanks everyone. Be careful out there. Props to Julie E for wearing the reflective gear and lights these days. It was 7 a.m. though. I think the kid just was biking so hard with his head down because he was late for class at UVU. It was pretty light. I probably should have been on the other side of the street, facing traffic.

Oh man I'm so sorry em. let me know if you need anything. really glad it wasn't a car, darn biker should look where he is going. I bet he was texting.

that's crazy -- so sorry to hear about this. sending my best to you for a quick recovery...

Oh man, that is awful! I hope you have a quick and speedy recovery. It's a good reminder to dust off the reflective gear and flashing lights.

thanks running buds! I'm going to be fine, but I don't think I'll be running for the next couple of days. It seems that it is hard to sleep if I just sit around all day and only got a short short run in. Addiction to running/activity is real. :-) love you all.

Very sorry Emily. I got hit by biker once when walking. Whiplash pain for while. It hurts but so glad you are okay!

From Kassi on Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 11:16:21 from 98.202.223.143

So scary!!! SO glad you weren't hurt any worse! I know all too well what that is like! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

From julieesplin on Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 17:10:40 from 75.169.176.51

That is so crazy! I've had some near misses with bikers and when I imagine actually getting hit, slamming into the ground, wheels, pedals, etc. Ahh! I'm so sorry.

When I tripped over a rock and fell while running I had knots in places I never would have expected. It took me a while to recover. I suggest get a massage.
