Calling all bloggers! Please keep this banged-up rocket in your prayers. I had a bit of a fender bender riding my bike this afternoon, fell, broke my jaw in two places, got 6 stitches on a cut, and chipped a couple of teeth. I'm at home and doing alright, but need to follow up with a specialist to make sure I don't need surgery to fix the jaw. I appreciate your sending good thoughts my way! Happy running!

What a gorgeous crisp Auttumn morning here in Capitol Hill! The birds are singing, the trees are turning orange/yellow, my house smells like flowers, my cat is cuddling next to me, and my breath stinks :)

I'm feeling well, just some discomfort from the braces/dirty mouth, so I didn't sleep that well. Woke up around 5 and took some more of the pain medicine to help me sleep.

Ok, so here's an update:
Pounds lost since the accident: about 7
Today's weight: 141.5 lbs.
Number of inches my butt has fallen since I haven't exercised since Sunday: about 10
Number of minutes Lucia will walk/do strengthening exercises for today: 60

Have a great day runners!!! Thank you for your support! I'll be out and about before you know it!

Feeling good, people! Went to work this morning and saw my friend Paul outside the metro - "I would recognize that chin anywhere" he said as he smiled and gave a sympathetic hug. Everyone at work was also super nice, and I have more flowers than I have room for. Feeling the love!

Went to the doc that afternoon to get stitches removed - chin is looking better.

The highlight of the day: a visit from fellow blogger and all-around-great guy Aaron! Now, the resemblance between Aaron and Pepper is pretty hard to believe. As soon as I opened the door, Aaron gave me a puppy look! It was pretty funny.

There's so much commotion in the city due to the Marine Corps marathon, I'm so sad I can't run it! But I'll be out there cheering on all runners, especially our fellow bloggers Aaron and Jillzo! You guys are going to rock the planet, and I'll be out there cheering you on in silence, with my purple wig and my cowbell! GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!
