Disabled List

It happens about once a year. I refer to it as the "Annual Skin Removal Process" and it works best when running outside on hard, scratchy surfaces. i wish it was a facial procedure that would make me look 20 again, but it's actually a removal of knee skin that occurs when one does not pick up their feet completely when jogging. This bit of fun revealed it's ugly face again on my morning run today and below is what my once "good knee" now looks like.
I wish it ended there, but somehow I managed to hurt my ankle, shoulder, hands and elbow also. I'd give the performance about a 9.5 and so would the school kids waiting for their bus who witnessed the entire debacle.
It's pretty much a surface injury as I don't feel like I pulled anything or messed up any joints. This means my long run tomorrow, however, is postponed one day in order to let this baby heal a bit.
For now, neosporin, Tylenol and bandaids will do the trick....along with maybe a bit of Sangria and a sympathy back rub by my wonderful husband.
