sorry about your elbow, but it doesn't seem to be slowing you down. :) hope you recover quickly. again, glad you're okay.

Wow, glad you're okay. At least you can check off getting hit by a car and breaking your elbow as things you've never done. I hope 2018 is amazing and you stay healthy training for your winter marathon. It's challenging, for sure.

Thankfully, an elbow isn't too necessary for running! And, double thankfully, it's a hairline fracture.

It's my first car hit/elbow break, but when I was 15, my dad ran me over with the family van and snapped my scapula in two. I think I'm one of those rare runners who has been hit by a car twice!
