Run off road by car tonite, running w headlamp vest etc. hurt and wife will kill me with "I told you so" now

You must have a VERY safe place to run, especially at night.

There must be no cars or bicycles around, or anything else that could hit you.

An empty dirt track would be good, if you can find one.

Otherwise find a quiet loop with no traffic and keep going round and round.

Personally I like 1 mile laps with good lighting, and I like running on flat sidewalks.

Running on a 1 mile loop on 2 and 1/2 lane wide road. Only car saw tonite. Dang this hurts. Gona have to go to work before wife wakes tomorrow or she'll know. Ouch ouch ouch. Guessing it was a drunk and they veered towards my headlamp thinking I was a car etc because I was so far right next to shoulder they must have thought they were off center in their lane. They did stop then kept going as I was rolling around in the dirt in agony. Dang this hurts.

Sorry for ranting. Is it possible to get a hernia from falling down? If so I think I managed that too. Chills starting so that's great as it means shock reaction I think. Hoping just my reaction to he a/c after run combined with pain. If I broke a bone or tore a ligament I would not have been able to walk it home would I ? Ouch ouch ouch. No more ranting or sleep either tonite.

Oh boy.

I would limp away from the female as fast as you can.

Women can sense if you are weak, injured or vulnerable in any way.

Get moving now.

It's my wife. I'm not leaving her just need to get out of the house before she spots the scraped hands and limp in the morning. It's the night thing that's the problem. Appreciate the replies. Better medicine for my angst than watching Hot Tub Time Machine now.

No.

Put your foot in a bucket or plastic trash bin with mild icewater and keep adding more ice cubes as you get used to it. do this for only a couple of minutes at a time, dry your foot well, and repeat at frequent intervals, every 15 minutes at first, then 3 times a day as it's healing.. Keep doing this and your foot will heal quickly.

No.

Depends how bad, and which bone or ligament.

What a bitch.

I was able to keep going for a bit with a broken tiny toe,which I made a mistake about and reported as an avulsion fracture of my big toe…because sometimes I tend to exaggerate or even make things up.

My wife is in Poland…so there is no immediate threat of her telling me "I told you so" …………………..…yet.

I've run on a broken foot. However it was excruciating and even when a sheet touched it at night I felt like screaming.

I'm sorry about your accident. I think you should just tell your wife. She should be more concerned about you than "I told you so"... and if she isn't, then she's horrible!

Also don't let yourself get cold.

4/10... too many "ouch ouch ouch" lines.

It's a positive thing that you don't know who Robert Young is.

Well, she DID tell you so.

You seem more concerned about your wife's reaction than whether this is a serious injury that could keep you from running. Time to get your priorities straight. Man up.

Oh, and your wife is right. Just agree with her. You're a man. We do stupid things. It's in our genes. Otherwise, we would have starved to death as a species instead of hunting and killing mammoths. This is actually a somewhat serious reply.

That was your wife in the car. She was trying to kill you

I was driving along an east coast road and some jackass was running along so I tried to hit him. Dang bugger jumped before i could get him. No worries, I parked down the street and followed him home. Waiting. Soon.

2/10 .... As poster said above- way too many "ouch" lines. Too many rapid posts and also all you did was sprain your ankle and scrape your hands. Should have come up with a more interesting injury as well. Also, too much wife-fearing content in your trolling. You get an F- ouch ouch ouch for this trolling effort, sorry!
