Well God blessed me with many things but gracefulness is not one of them. Sometimes at work I split my time between two buildings. When I do I ride the van that drives back and forth between the buildings all day, I was getting out of the van at the end of the day... the heal of my shoe caught the step and down I went on my right knee. AHGGGG how embarrassing.!!! I wish I could say this doesn't happen often but that is not the case. So now my knee and my shins are hurting.

My right shin was hurting quite a bit for the first mile, then it seemed to mellow out. At about the 41/2 mark it started hurting again, I was hoping for 6 miles but I will settle for the 5.2. I'm getting new shoes on my lunch break tomorrow and Icing my shins tonight... tomorrow at work, until they feel better :)

No it is kind of funny... grown women falling out of a van... I would kind of laugh to myself if I saw that happen. And boy... I bounced right back up hopeing no one would say/see anything. No such luck. Our company has video servalance so I'm sure there are a few IS techs getting a laugh too. LOL So if you are the token slow girl... I guess I'm the token cluts LOL
