3 More Miles and Another Battle Wound

Well, I have another battle wound to add to my collection.  LOL  I'm becoming a running mess.  :)  I went for a three mile run this evening and about 2.5 miles into it, I tripped over my own foot (I know, right?!) and went tumbling down.  I jammed my pointer finger into the rocky concrete and it started to bleed.  I bruised my left knee a little and my right hip.  Oh yeah, it must have been the most graceful fall EVER.  ;)


My pace was slower than I'd like (13:06) but when I fell, I didn't get the Garmin paused right away, so I'm going to go ahead and take that into account.  I was actually going pretty strong for longer than usual and going faster than I had planned (I wanted to start out slow and end faster, but I never seem to do it right).  I thought for sure my pace would be around 12:30.  Oh well.

Before my run this evening, I had gone to the gym and spent 30 minutes on the elliptical and burned 288 calories.  I ended up consuming those calories burned by eating some banana bread before dinner, but the fact that I'd had that loaf since Saturday and was only finally touching it now was an incredible feat.  Preston's cousin brought it to us over the weekend and I'm a sucker for banana bread.  I managed to say no until today.  I finally had to have some and boy, was it amazing.  :)
