Complete, not Compete!

Saturday's Fall

Looks like I'll be sitting out this week due to my fall on Saturday. Sometimes I think that I'm just not meant to complete a marathon, running or riding. But I'm doing my best not to give up. I've come too far for that. My bike is being checked out [actually the bike's 30-day check-up ;o)] and once I see my orthopaedist on the 18th, we'll know for sure where I stand in the "completing" category. I've been pretty sore all over since my little "accident" Saturday. I could hardly get off the couch Saturday and Sunday. I just can't express my appreciation enough for all you marathoners that were around to help me. Usually I'm glad no one is around when I fall, but this time, I'm not sure I would have been able to get up by myself. I rode far beyond our turn-around point so my legs were like jelly when I tried to stand up. So thanks guys for being there!
Have a good week everyone and I'll see you marathoners on Saturday!

    I was just about to email you and see how you are doing, but thought I'd check in on the blogs first. I'm so sorry you are sore, but I am glad you are ok, overall! I hope you feel all better very soon!

    I'm sorry you fell. Were you on your bike?

    I hope that everything is okay and that you're back on the road soon. Don't give up! Remember...complete, not compete.

    Aw-w-w Sheila, I did not know that you fell Saturday...sounds like it was while riding your bike. Biking accidents can be serious but I am glad to hear you are only sore and not BROKEN. Be careful.
