I started to feel sick today and had a sore throat and was feeling crappy all day. I figured I could still run with the guys that are slower though and I really wanted a long run.
Ran down Big Cottonwood with Mike Bradshaw and Dave Roth. We got a late start and were lucky to get out of the canyon as it was getting dark. Mike was having stomach issues, but Dave and I kept going out on Wasatch Bvld. It was pitch dark and everyone was brighting us. At about 18.5 I was running by myself and was getting brightet and hit a sign hard. My hand, head and left knee all got hurt, but my knee hit way hard! I couldn't walk for a few minutes! The sign had no reflection on it and was in middle of the shoulder and turn lane, usually sings are off the road. I though I might of smashed my knee cap or cut it deep, but neither happened. I finished the run, but the knee swelled up bad and I can't walk now. I should have skipped this one, we all had issues and everyone had a bad experience. 8:10 ave
