P365 - 2014 - Day 279 - I fell

With less than a week until the 18 mile run, I had one more 8 mile run to do.  I set out after getting the kids on the bus, phone in hand, Pandora in my ears, ready to knock out this 8 mile run.  At just about the half way mark I had a mishap.  I hopped onto the sidewalk for a bit because the road narrows down there and there were cars and a cyclist.  After that, I am unclear what the heck happened, but I fell.  I don't remember the last time I fell and skinned my knee but I remember it hurting and this time was no different.  Since I had my aforementioned phone in my hand with Pandora in my ears, my hands were compromised which didn't allow me to react with my two hands out in front of me to break my fall.  Instead, I hit my shoulder and my knee and oh yeah, dropped.my.phone.  :-(  I was more upset about the phone at first but then realized that I was somewhat beat up.  A sweet couple stopped and offered me some first aid which I accepted but I declined their offer for a ride home because I am stubborn determined.  I still had a little more than half of my run to complete so I patched up my knee, put my ear buds back in, carefully held my shattered phone, and finished my run.
