Crash and burn tonight. Or crash, anyway. Stepped off into a ditch alongside 40th Street trying to avoid a truck who didn't want to give me any room. Of course, I couldn't see the ditch because of the truck's headlights, which didn't help, and the edge of the ditch coincided exactly with the edge of the pavement. Three inches too lar to the left, and down I went. Couple of feet deep too; lucky it wasn't full of water, or broken glass, or any number of t hings. Just skinned my left hand and right knee. The run had not been going very well anyway; it was still in the 80s and a nice breeze when I started had subsided, so I was dragging. But I sucked it up and got through at a 10:20 average, including all the walk/fall-down breaks.
I'd actually felt pretty good all day. Let myself sleep in for the first time in quite a while. All the way to 9:30 (ooooh). Kinda gave me an idea how sleep-deprived I've been. I think I'll make a point of getting caught up between now and whenever I start work. |
