That's kinda the sound I made this morning as I landed.
I'd been cruising along a stone and gravel trail 4 miles into a six mile run when I suddenly found myself on the ground. Fortunately my arms crossed over my chest and I only ended up with cuts and abrasions on my palms, belly, thighs, and knees. It was my first such fall in more than a year's running and was amazing in its abruptness. After a monent to collect my senses I was able to get up and carry on, and only then realized how sore my right toe was. I must have stubbed it, but good.
I looked a mess as I finished with sweat, blood and mud washing down my legs and staining my white tech shirt. Maybe I should be glad I had on my VFF's for the first time since early May, but I wouldn't have been on that particular trail (running with Fastracks, a local group) without them.
It just goes to show you how smart these guys are who write about how to run BF. The first thing they say is to maintain an upright posture.
