AM: 9.3 miles on the Pipeline Trail. Took a fall and am a bit scratched up. No broken bones though which is good considering I rolled down the mountain a ways.

PM: 5 mile walk.

Wow! I hope you recover quickly from your scratches and bruises.

Ouch. Trail running is hard for that reason and you have some serious elevation drop offs out there. Road running is a bit easier in that way, but every once in a while, what I think Andy refers to as "sidewalk gremlins" get you.

Glad you are ok Rob. I recently took a fall myself. Poor maintenance of sidewalks I believe. Skinned knee plus pain in that joint afterwards.
