Goal weight: 195 lbs.
I think I proved one of Newton’s Laws today. Not sure which one really. But I did prove one thing: I’m clumsy. Good Lord, I am a klutz. About 1.5 miles into my three-mile run this morning, I face-planted. Tripped. All six-foot two inches, 205 lbs. of me. It wasn’t pretty. I went down hard.
How hard? My phone landed five-feet in front of me (thank you OtterBox for protecting my investment). That’s how hard.
My foot hit a bad spot in the pavement (yes, I know you are shocked there is bad pavement in Yazoo Clay land) and I flew like Superman on a bender. I remember thinking, “Aw crap.” And then I hit.
Asphalt and skin do a great job slowing you down, btw. Within seconds I was laying in the middle of the dark road, at 5:15 in the morning in a bloody heap. I looked around (just to make sure I wasn’t going to end up on YouTube) and tried to find my phone. Then I did a systems check to make sure nothing was broken (on the phone and on me.). Nothing was. I was just sore and bloody. So I did the only thing I could do: I got back up, dusted myself off and kept running.
There’s a life lesson there somewhere.

So sorry for your fall this morning. At least not like Humpty Dumpty who’s all the kings horses or the kings men could put him back together again ;)
Also glad no cars speeding down the road at that time of the mirning too!
Are you sure you weren’t channeling me? I feel your pain, dude. Totally.
Glad to hear the rest of the story. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. I subscribed so I could see the cartoon/images you make. Originally, I just skipped over the Fit-To entries, but now I am reading them and cheering you on (in my head, at least). I am becoming inspired to pick up where I left off in my weight control struggles.
Keep up the good work.
