went on a women's only bike ride last sunday. crashed my bike into some lovely bushes. came down hard on the left elbow. the bruise is the size of a softball. huge and all sorts of pretty colors. my knee got banged up too, but nothing broken. i was even able to finish the ride.

2 hours later i started getting dizzy, nausea, light headed. checked my helmet, didn't crack it. i think it was just the shock of the crash. my baby is ok. took her to my new favorite lbs. i started showing off my battle scars. they were impressed. so now, i show it off with pride. i am sure this will not be my last crash, but lets just hope it is my worst. i was really lucky. could have been much worse.
