Several years ago, I suffered a bout of falls while running. My knees are forever scarred from them, but at least I learned to stop running and texting. (Yes, I would send multiple paragraph emails while loping down a running trail.)

Of course, texting wasn’t the only culprit; I think I also just get distracted while running. With what, I’m not sure. Thinking? Singing? Trying to remember all the things I will text once I’m done running?

I haven’t fallen in some time. And thankfully, I didn’t fall today either. But I did something just as bad: I ran through wet concrete.
