old sidewalks and rain

Ran tonight in the rain, dark. Started late as we adopted a dog today from the pound. Zeke is now part of the family. He's three months old, a puppy, cute as can be, and apparently a peeing machine. We're in for it.

My exercise guilt got to me so I decided to go for a light run...still favoring my right leg with IT band problems. The rain quickly covered my glasses, and with every breath the lenses would slightly fog over. That's when the sidewalk got me. My toe caught a raised lip of concrete and I couldn't catch up in time - I stopped abruptly. Skidding flat out, forward, length-wise, into wet concrete.

My elbow and knee are bleeding. Even worse, I tore a fairly good hole in my favorite Mountain Hardware gloves. I got up, cursed, and ran on. Probably only did two miles again.
