Started out on a Tempo run in Las Vegas this afternoon. The traffic was crazy and I was being pretty careful. At about 8 miles I got hit by truck. It was a guy talking on his cell phone that pulled up to the sidewalk and slowed. As I passed around the front he suddenly gunned it to jump out into traffic between the cars. I barely saw it out of the corner of my eye and was able to jump up enough so he hit me hard on the hip and I rolled over the top and behind the truck. I lay there on the road and couldn't believe how lucky I was. The driver was bawling but still wouldn't get out of his truck and some lady in another car was screaming at 911 on her cell phone. But when I picked myself up aside from road rash all over I felt fine so I took off running again since I had a flight to do back to Denver in two hours. When I walked in the lobby of the hotel the concierge just freaked out with all the blood and talked me into going to the hospital so I got removed from my trip a day early and spent the evening in a Vegas hospital. Still can't believe how lucky I was! Everyone be careful out there with cell phones, texting and busy people! |
