I have been trying to get my jog/walk on hoping to get in shape for the last month and this morning I was jogging on the side of the road - it's a 4
lane busy street w/ 2 lanes in both directions and the shoulder isn't that big - when I completey wiped out. I stepped on a rock or twig, not sure but my
right ankle/foot completey went to the right and I toppled over scratching my hands and basically destroying my IPod. Anyway, I looked up immediately only to
see a gold minivan quickly pull to the left to avoid running me over.
I quickly got up and moved off to the curb/sidewalk shaking like crazy. Holy FUCK - if that van didn't see me fall, I would have been run over by the
wheels on the right side no doubt. Why I don't just jog/walk on the sidewalk you ask? My left ankle flames up constantly and uneven roads like a sidewalk
are just horrible for it..
but after today, I think I am going to stick w/ them despite the problems w/ my ankle.
All I can say is fuck you Jebus for almost killing me and driver of that gold minivan THANK YOU!

Why are you running on such a busy road? That's just asking to get hit.

There was a moment this morning when a bit of pretzel from my Chex Mix Bold Party Blend™ got lodged in my throat. Fortunately for me, I saw some fucking idiot
jogger totally flatten himself on the road like a toddler tripping over his shoestrings and I laughed so fucking hard, it coughed that shit right out. I COULD
HAVE DIED!

A lot of people walk/jog on the sidewalk on this road b/c it's a long stretch of pretty even ground (not downhill/uphill) and it's busy but it's
also a residential neighborhood so it's not like I was booking it on the highway. In the street though? Mostly the bikers..and apparently me til today.

You just said the sidewalk was uneven. Which is it?

The sidewalk is uneven b/c it has cracks and the surface can go from high to low b/c it's not smooth but the actual street is pretty even meaning no
massive uphill, downhill which many long stretches of road have.

Nah. You hurt your ankle on purpose so you could start a thread similar to Angela's, didn't you?

I didn't read Angela's thread and my ankle is fine...My foot just completey went to the side and I toppled over, splaying out onto the road.
I swear my story is legit and if the driver of the gold minivan reads/posts here they know it too. |

Get a Sandisk. They're cheap MP3 players, but I've used mine at the gym and working on the house for 3 years now. I got a 1gb one for like $35. The
only drawback I have with them is they take AAA batteries, but I just got some rechargeable ones.

^ Does it have FM radio? I loved my IPOD but the fact that those don't have radio kind of sucked. The crappy generic one I have for now has radio in it
although the reception is shit it seems (I used it this morning in my walk/jog) and I am open to buying something else. I can't afford an IPOD right now
plus I am still pissed it broke just like that.
