I was practicing on the male hurtles (which is two notches up from the girls hurtles for a reason) and i was doing just fine. I felt so PRO practicing with the guys seeing as I was the only girl hurtler at practice. I went through a couple times and everything was good--on my next attempt i was kind of tired and had bump into some hurtles goin around the curve.....just as i got to the last one I realized i was off on my footing and would need to jump early to get over the hurtle. Now- when u jump early there is about a 50/50 chance of either u getting over and resetting ur footing, or just taking a spill---My luck ain't to good so guess which card i drew. . I tumbled over the hurtle straight onto my right arm. Lucky for me, i was in kickboxing for about 5 years and learned that when you fall it is best to roll it out.. So i turned my arm and rolled onto my back. Everything was alright-kinda hurt a bit but that is what happened when you fall right?? My coach then lowered the hurtles for me and i went through again. At that point i realized my arm hurt too much to run so i took a break. But walking home with my friend i realized my arm hurt so much that i could hardly even lift it--I WAS IN TROUBLE!! So we went back to the track and managed to wrap my arm.
The next day i went in to get some x-rays---Doc says that nothing is broken but it looks as if there is a chip at the end of one of the bones... Funny thing is where that bone is is not the same place as where the pain is!!! How STRANGE!! So my arm is all wrapped up--as u can see by the lovely pic---but i did take off my sling to take the photo. I go back on Friday to see what the specialist says about the chip and the strange pain issue....So wish me luck!!
the song was picked because i was listening to it while writing
