Yesterday, I wasn’t feeling too good. So I figured I’d go outside in the late afternoon and trim some grass around the front railing. The railing had other plans. It jumped out of no where and attacked me:

This is 6 hours after the attack,
after most of the swelling had gone down!
So, as I do every night, I laid in bed and iced my heel and my knee. Only this time, I added a third bag of ice to my forehead.
I’m such a dolt. Maybe I’ll have a sweet “racing stripe” for the duathlon this weekend. What a way to use (waste) my 200th post.
Sad. Hope your forehead is feeling better! How in the world did that even happen?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I feel like an ice bath (if you could tolerate it might do you some good. =0)
It wouldn't be a Steve post if it didn't include some sort of graphic picture...
ReplyDeleteA wise man once said, "Ice Ice Baby". Well maybe not a wise man but we rocked to vanilla in college days.
ReplyDeleteAwww..you poor thing..is that crayon on your forehead? :-)
ReplyDeleteOUCH. Man you've been having a bad time of it lately huh?? Hang tough brother...
ReplyDeleteWow, maybe the running gods do have somethign against you. The only good thing is that scars make for great stories...usually.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I got "bit" by an eggplant once. But just on my hand.

ReplyDeleteYour blog is great! The pictures are hysterical! Sorry about your head. Hope everything heals up!
ReplyDeleteThat is so nuts! I bet it won't even phase you in your race!
ReplyDeleteBEST of luck...
Poor baby, did you want me to come by and prop the pillow for you :), a racing stripe would look cool thou..
ReplyDeleteYou know you should e-mail an underwear company so you can get some endorsements.
Amazing how often those railings come out of nowhere, you know? If a bag of ice does the trick, you should be fine for the weekend. And congratulations on 200 posts.
ReplyDeletewell, even if your head is sad, at least your boxers are happy.
ReplyDeleteyou look so sad and pathetic... unlike in your happy pants pictures. get up damn it, get up!
ReplyDeleteOh ouch! Keep your eye on that bad boy railing next time you head out with the clippers!
ReplyDeleteYou may have escaped THIS time Stenzel, but we shall meet again! BWAH-HA-HA-HA
ReplyDelete- The Railing
I knew I'd see blood in a post. It had been gone too long from your blog!
ReplyDeleteOuch. See what happens when you do house work rather than training.
ReplyDeletemaybe th next time you try to get sponsors from your blog posts you should try for a company that makes ice packs.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Stay away from that railing!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the railing looks worse than you do.
ReplyDeleteGet better soon!
I've been saying for years, "Lawn maintenance is a contact sport".....
ReplyDeleteOuch! You can never trust that front railing...it's sneaky.
ReplyDeletewhere was Pharmie when this railing assault happened???
ReplyDeletePlease don't run out of ice before you run out of injured body parts
