As long as the LHT is okay.

Heal up quickly. If you crack a femur just right, she'll break. A guy I know was out trail running, tried to jump from a stream bank to a rock, but went down like a sack of bricks when the rock turned out to be slick. He hit the rock and shattered the BALL of the femur. The surgeons fixed him all up but they said the force involved must have been incredible.

No ride for me this morning. Walked 2.5 miles to bus. Meeting wife after work. Beer and pizza involved.
