10 miles at McCalister Park.   By mile five, I was lost. All I was running in was more and more trees and I felt like I was running in a bunch of circles.  At mile five I saw a man walking in the woods and I got a little suspicious because well, he was the only man I had seen.  I was looking over at him and I tripped, flew through the air and landed on my leg side.  I was actually ok and I wasn't scraped up.   The man was nice and asked me if I was okay, how embarrassing!  I started running and my right bum cheek REALLY hurt, but I just kept running.  

I ran and got lost a few more times and by mile 7, I finally figured out where I was.  This run kind of took a toll on me because I couldn't figure out where I was and it was all on trails.  By the time I saw my car, I was at 10.  Thank the heavens!!!!  

Hours later I really did do something to my hip.  :(  Pretty sure I pulled something in there.  About two years ago I did the same thing when I tumbled down Sunny Side Avenue in Salt Lake.  I am just hoping it heals up really quick.  I have a half marathon on Saturday.  :(

Crud!! I'm sorry Becca. Trying to stay away from the creepies just hurt you :( I hope it heals quickly too!

Oh no, Bec! I'm sorry about the fall and the hip. Ice, massage, baby it. Hope it's nothing and you're good to go on Saturday. You were brave to explore the park/woods by yourself. Did you carry maze, water, fuel? I get lost easily so I never venture to anyplace unfamiliar alone!

What half marathon are you running on Sat.? I'll be thinking of you! :)

RAD, That is what happens when you try and stay away from the creeps. Turns out he was a nice old man. Still... it was a man and me in the forest alone.

Smooth, I need some maze. The park has a lot of water fountains. Just when you are lost, you can't get to those fountains. I went there on Sat with David and I thought I would be fine. Turns out I was paying attention when I ran with David.

I am running the San Antonio Road Runner's half. It was $30 to register. Some of the races around here are cheap and some are really expensive.
