Ouch, my leg!

Friday night, I fell between two rocks on Donner Summit thereby knocking one knee into a rock and bruising the heck out of it. Alcohol is a good anesthetic, namely beer of the pedestrian kind and Potter's Whiskey which becomes less nasty after said pedestrian beer.

On Sunday, my hike to Point Reyes last weekend left me sore in the neck, back, and shoulder area, but managed to keep my knees in tact. It looked like the compresses, arnica, advil, and the icings were working fine until today. I ran on the track as usual, with some mild aching in the knee area, but I seemed to maintain a decent pace. Around mile three, I leaped into the track stands to grab my water bottle and missed the plank by about a half an inch causing my body to flail over and hit the bench with my shin. I found a welt on my leg, but I kept on going due to my roommates relating of some 14 year-old girl persevering through some Crossfit Contest in Aromas. I applied ice on the battered leg when I got home. It still throbs and has a nice purple shade to it.

Bruises: 2
Chemme Fatale: 0

At least my shoulders and back feel better?
