Elray did a number on me this morning at our usual 6 am poop and piddle run. Coming back down the hill, she saw a deer before me, and had a sudden lunge. When they redid our road this summer, they left lots of loose gravel, which I slipped and went down on, and then she dragged me about ten feet. I dropped the flashlight, injured my right knee and elbow, and my left pinky finger. I also got road rash on both palms (through my gloves) and a real case of it on my chin. It totally destroyed my jacket--shredded the right front and left a mountain of feathers on the road. So I didn't go to 9Round, but I did get groceries. Driving aggravates my knee, so I took an Aleve, and plan on seeing my trainer later, but will give him a heads up, since we will need some modifications.

Weekly workout with my trainer. We did some modifications, and lessened the weights somewhat to compensate for all my boo-boos. I discovered a new one--my left shoulder is sore. That was the side holding the leash. We started with three minutes on the air bike, then finished up on the air bike doing eight repetitions of 10 second HIIT followed by 20 seconds of slower peddling. It felt good to move, and my knee wasn't as sore from driving as it was this morning.
