Well today I missed by XT day. Why? Let's just say that it had something to do with missing a step up in the attic and a big hole in the ceiling! I was getting some boxes down when I missed the area I was supposed to be following. As I was watching my foot go through the sheetrock, I thought about that Aflac commercial where the guy is falling off a ladder saying, "Do I have that insurance?" It seemed every thing suddenly became slo-mo. (Deep voice)Oooooooooooohhhhh Nooooooooooo!!!!!
Dropping the box, I lurched for a wooden beam slamming my ribcage and other parts of my body I don't care to mention. Thankfully, I think that is what slowed my fall. I hung for a second or two, and then fell to the ground. No broken legs, or blown out knees. Ok, so I'm still in the marathon race.....but sore as you know what! A lot of Ibuprofen, cold packs, and icy hot later, I just couldn't make myself work out today. I don't know about running tomorrow either. Maybe try a walk and go from there.
I will chalk this one up as the first of many obstacles in my goal for Chicago. So on Saturday, if you see a big ole guy kinda shuffling along, you'll know the reason I don't have my own home improvement show on HGTV.

OUCH! That made me hurt just reading it! I am glad you will survive and back out on the road soon.
I'm glad to hear you are ok and in one piece.
Don't think I'm mean or evil but I almost laughed out loud reading your blog. Hopefully I'm laughing with you! I give you extra bonus points for keeping your positive attitude. You are DEFINITELY excused from your missed workout!
OW! Glad nothing's broken. Hope you will recover quickly.
PEACE
Kim :)
