Please tell your kids not to listen to their ipods while riding bikes. I wiped out on the bike path today when my earplug cords fell out and went in the spokes. I ended up going over the handlebars and landed on my right side. I broke my elbow - the radial head - the part which turns your elbow, and sprained my wrist, not to mention the scrapes and bruises along the right side of my body. A hard lesson learned.
Luckily, I can still type with my left hand. My pain killer is about to kick in, so that's it for now.

Glad it was not worse. Take the pain meds and rest until Friday. Hope it will be a quick healing.
your tar!!!
got any pics?
Pain is temporary, glory is forever and chicks dig scars. Suck it up and get back on the bike. Look on the bright side at least ya didn't get run over trying to ride on the road like all the Lance Armstrong wannabees

Thanks everyone. The sleeping on the back with the pillow was great advice. I didn't exactly sleep but I was in position to!
The ipod survived, even after the woman on a bike behind me ran over the earbuds. I couldn't move fast enough to pull them out of the way.
Nohall - 1 week off hopefully, and I'll be back running. I am running with you or at least I'm going to try. My good news yesterday was I got the sponsor for the race. We just have to figure out how it is going to work!

Yay for the sponsor and running with you!2.
Now I have to start running again. Have I told you that I hate running?

Wow...that's awful. Bike spills can be nasty. Hope you heal up fast.
...all that for a $10.00 pair of earbuds!
It's hard to override your brain's knee jerk reaction after it has already started...
