Airborn!

[JosephTree]

I went out for a nice half hour run this PM on my new favorite trail. It runs along a brook and has mostly packed silt underfoot. After recent rains it still wasn't dry and I took one curve a bit too fast. My toes couldn't begin to hold and both feet zipped out from beneath me. I flew horizontally for a couple feet before splashing and skidding. No damage but I left a spectacular print of my butt, back and elbows. I hope it brought a smile to someone's face.

...also on this run I followed a turkey for about a hundred feet as it trotted along 30 or 40 feet ahead of me on the trail. I thought that was pretty cool. You won't see one of those in the park, DNEChris!

Maybe not - but there used to

Maybe not - but there used to be one near the Heliport at 34th Street. Disappeared a couple of years ago just before Thanksgiving

Seeing the butt print

Seeing the butt print probably would have been even better, but your re-telling still managed to bring a smile to my face.

sounds like mud got us both..

sounds like mud got us both.. I didn't write the slip and fall part of mine, but I did that on the boardwalk part of the trail... due to mud covered feet... thats why I put on shoes and headed for home instead of continuing the run.

   JT, Great story. Glad you

JT, Great story. Glad you weren't hurt. Feet, butt, elbows is the exact sequence most new Paratroopers use to land the first time. Only 4 more and you can get your “WINGS”. BTW it’s spelled AIRBORNE. Get it right trooper!

Sorry for the misspelling.  I

Sorry for the misspelling. I thought the one with the "e" was the cold remedy,but it must be the 101st or 82nd kind, I see. I do like the idea of wings though.

I think it would serve better just to run the slippery parts with a little more caution.
