I went jogging and someting told me to put the SD on ... but then I totally forgot about it and realized it after I left the house ... on the return journey, about 5 mins from home, I stepped onto the sidewalk while running and didn't see the sprinkler ... went crashing face first into the asphalt .... my right hand broke my fall ...and I was so so darn glad I had no watch on ......I can't imagine my SD scraping through the sidewalk and leaving a streak behind .... yikes!!!

Glad that you are ok

You are really lucky

Yep....good thing you left that SD at home.

..............Somebody might have charged you for damaging the pavement when you fell...

..Hope you didn't do yourself any serious harm....

BiG JeEzY · 8 April 2008, 11:02 AM

Be more careful next time, its good to hear you were able to break your fall and did not get hurt.

seantk · 8 April 2008, 11:14 AM

The SD would have broke the sidewalk

Glad all worked out!

Jogging is why God invented the Timex Ironman.

thank you all for your kind words ... yes I am fine but my wrist hurts a little ... my wife called me at the last minute to do some chore....and I totally forgot .... no, i wasn't looking at a babe .... It was one of those good workout days where I was on cloud 9 ... I felt like I could run forever and nothing in my body hurt... just like when I was 10 ....one of those days .... so while I was thinking what a stud I am, boom, I go eating some asphalt... .... I guess it is god's/nature's way of reminding one to not get too cocky ..... but all's well that ends well....

If you had been wearing the SD you would have changed history and missed the sprinkler.

sea-dweller · 8 April 2008, 12:10 PM

Glad you are OK. I wear a Casio "G Shock" when I run.

CPCC · 8 April 2008, 12:16 PM

timackerman · 8 April 2008, 02:07 PM

he he he, it is a good thing you didn't leave your horse shoe at home though!

jasonbellevue · 8 April 2008, 02:13 PM

You broke your hand and "it only hurts a little"...geez, it's either you're Superman in disguise or you're taking happy pills.

I'm glad you're alright though.

etp095 · 8 April 2008, 02:24 PM

glad nothing got broken,you could tell us you were staring at a hottie.we won't tell your wife/gf.

Felly Jr. · 8 April 2008, 02:24 PM

Just think if you had been wearing a "Super Dweller". You'd be paying for the replacement of a full city block!

Is that the miracle of owning a Rolex? Where we can still say that we're lucky in an unlucky event?

Glad you're okay tho. You're a tough guy.

Trurolexer · 8 April 2008, 11:18 PM

Bobareno · 9 April 2008, 12:55 AM
