Finally a nice sunny day, so I go for lunchtime walk.
Still nice after work, so I am go for evening walk.
I was walking with my partner, each of us plugged into our own podcasts on our ipods. I was walking faster, listening to the show, not paying attention, and boom! I caught my toe on a broken up sidewalk and down I went! Scraped knee, bruised hands from trying to break the fall, and slightly sprained ankle.
It was 20 minutes into the show (one mile), just heard the question about what would surprise us about the podcasters.
I didn't finish the show. My partner and I gave up our ipods and talked to each other as I slowly finished the walk. Walked almost an hour to finish up the four mile walk.
I am icing the ankle now. Saving the rest of the podcast for another walk. And, yes, I will be more careful!
Ouch - that sounds quite painful! I hope your banged-up body parts will heal quickly.
