:(

i did the parkway race this morning. let me recap.

in the first quarter mile, everything was slow and i tried to get to the edges so i can sprint up. well, i forgot the first rule of running and that is to keep your eyes on the road. while sprinting up, i got caught in a little pothole and took a tumble. cut up my left knee and sprained my right ankle pretty badly. i couldn't get up until two other runners helped me to the curb. i took a few seconds to collect myself and then started running again trying to keep pace. 3 miles on a bad ankle and a bloody knee. my mechanics were all messed up and had to really pound it to get it keep my locomotion going. it was pretty stupid to keep running but i don't think i made it any worse. adam finished two minutes ahead of me. once i finished and started walking, i realized how bad this was.

this was probably my last race for the next 6 weeks.

first mile, 10:30.

second mile, 21:30.

finish, 30:00.

i've got one ibuprofen in me and many more are expected.
