Broken arm anniversary

Ah, how short my memory is! A week or so ago I said my last previous summer run was June 21st. How could I have forgotten last year? During May and June of 2007, I was attempting to kick start my running program. I was motivated and doing okay when the plan came to an abrupt end. The day was June 30, 2007, it was 5:15 AM and I was running (shuffling) on the streets of Mt. Airy. I tripped, hit the concrete and encountered pain like I have never known. The story is here:

So in honor of the 1st anniversary of my only broken arm, I have included a picture from 2007 (swollen and bruised) and my 2008 arm, strong as ever! I prefer the 2008 arm!

2008 Good Arm

Oh by the way, I am back on schedule to repeat last week's running plan with another couple of miles added. Today's effort:

Run: 3.0 miles, 37.24 minutes, 12.41 mmp

Oh my, hurts just looking at that first picture! Probably took a while but I'm glad the arm is back to normal again. I, too, shuffle when I run and have tripped. Nothing too bad yet ...
