Best trip ever...

so yesterday's long run was going well, I'd negotiated the rocky trail bits next to Sulwood Dr and I had less than 10mins to go when I tripped over on the footpath!

it was pretty impressive as my glasses went flying on impact...I hit both knees and my left shoulder which I must have tucked instinctively with my arm going under my body as I smashed the face of my watch (it didn't stop, I stopped it as I lay on the ground wondering what happened!)...I even had a little rock embedded in my 'roo scar...

I eventually picked myself up and walked the rest of the way home...I must concentrate on my feet for the whole run...what a gumby!

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 14.9/100% (apparent temp same)
start time: 7:28am
total distance: 14.51
total time: 82:21
avg pace: 5:41
total calories: 916
avg HR: 131
recovery HR: nr

after a shower and several lots of icing with voltaren applied to what appears to be a cork (just above my right knee on the medial side) I headed off to Federal with tubigrip on both knees to keep the swelling under control...

I played in the #2 spot and had to give my opponent 3 shots...the greens were basically rolled mud (glad it's not my home course) as I struggled to get a feel for the pace (fast!)...at the turn I was three down but I managed to hang on until the finish of the 16th where I ended up losing 3/2...fortunately the team won 3/2...

I walked the boys this morning while street O will be at Yarralumla...will be interesting to see if I can manage to get all 20 without tripping over again!
