So I'm not sure how to even tell this... LOL..Our day was great! The fair, the pool, dinner and such... We played ladder ball, cornhole and some darts. I had I think 6 beers by this point, 3 of them my Mike's green apple. Cousin Wylee and Matt decided it was a good time to have a foot race. Matt would continue to smoke his cigarette and I said what the hell, I can do this too, it's only like 100 ft or something. The time: 11:53pm. I hear Kelly walking towards the side street we would race on saying "I need to put my phone in night mode". We heard go, and I bolted out to the lead, I think, bcuz I couldn't even see Matt, just Wylee. I might have taken 4 total steps before I felt my upper torso going faster than my legs. I started to go over and braced my eventual fall to the road with my left (already bad) elbow. I landed on my arm pushing into my rib cage. I laid there for all of about 10 seconds in agony before I heard "Herb get out of the road, here comes a car". The honked and came to a screeching stop as I somehow got up and ran to the grassy ditch next to me. I couldn't get up, couldn't take a full breath.I got some road rash on my arm and leg. I'm very certain I bruised a couple ribs. Then, the topper, as my cousins were about to help me up, my amazing wife decides she's taking pictures of my #Dumbassery (I love her for this lol)I guess the point of my story is to say that I'm having a hard time embracing being old lolAll night hangovers and then doing stupid stuff like this reminds me that I must have that extra gear removed, it's faulty. LOL (the great that tells me I can still do shit 20 y/O's do LOL.
