do unto others
i don't know what it is about california, but it seems to leave its mark on me. By mark, i mean literally. First it was the california mountains, then the trails and now the road. Apparently, running in the dark is only for the experienced. I don't know what it was, i'm sure it looked a bit sniper-like, but i was taken out by the pavement while on a run last night. I was in the zone, feeling confident of a pretty long run, daydreaming about everything but california and then suddenly bam, trip, tumble and skid. argh. well, that is what i get for laughing at my friend earlier that day who gashed open her big toe while we were on a walk. i had to humbly return, bloody knee and all. thats what i get for laughing. california scar number #5.

I have learned a similar lesson. Whilst running at night in Dallas, I was blinded by oncoming headlights, and did not see the huge uneven-ness of the sidewalk. I bit it huge, but because it was so sudden my natural response was to immediately pop back up. The whole thing couldn't have lasted more than half of a second.
Moral of the story, run with traffic so you can see.
