14 Miles

I decided to run from my house to the Palmer Post Office and back on this beautiful day.  I took water with me but no food.  I think it was a little too far to not have something to eat.  At mile 12, I tripped and fell hard onto the pavement and sat up with blood everywhere.  Big laceration above my eyebrow and on my lip and both hands.  A nice man in a pickup truck saw it happen and stopped to help.  He gave me some napkins and the bleeding stopped.  I sort of ran and sort of walked the rest of the way home.  That was  slow 2 miles.  I really wanted one last fairly long run before the Yukon Trail Marathon next Sunday.  I hope my wounds are healed by then!
