Fitness Romance SagaI Thought I Was a Bad Azz, But I Was Really a Dumb Azz
July 14th, 2010 • 21 Comments | Leave a Comment »
Behold the park that has the 3-mile trail, the tennis courts, basketball, and more. So why did I choose to steer away from that stuff and go off the beaten path?
The sign says “Danger”, but my eyeballs detected no dangerous conditions. Must be an old sign. So I went over there, ya know?
But let me tell you this: when a sign says “Danger” or cautions you in whatever words it chooses for you to stay the hell away. Just do it, dammit.
I thought I was cool. I thought I was adventurous to be posing with a dangerous sign. And you know what happen? That damn sign was mangled all to hell with steel shards sticking out the side, right where my face was.
I got my face tore all to hell. There was pain. Redness. Swelling. The shock of those mangled shards coming into contact with my purr-deee skin is written all over my face. Greedy Kid #1 photographed the actual assault in real time.
FRACKIN’ SIGN!!
I confess to you my disobedience. I should NOT have stepped into Danger. But I did squeeze in a 1 mile walk AND 2-mile run in highly humidified conditions immediately following the injury.
Because I’m tough. I might be a dumb azz. But at least…I’m tough.

OUCH!! That sign needs it’s own Danger Sign.
I feel your pain. I have walked into a sign and clocked myself in the noggin. Signs are EVIL!
Feel better soon.

You are one bad arse!!!!!!!! Humidity & all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bewteen your Danger sign and Cammy’s unexpected “adventure”, we all should be wary of Danger signs & where we are walking/hiking/whatever if we are not equiped OR somebody does not know where we are….
Not saying this is the case here but your post made me think of Cammy’s post last weekend…
Respect your way for that humid workout!!!

OH NO! I can see the pain in your face…but at least you took it like a champ! I get myself into some stupid predicaments ’cause I’m too damn hardheaded to tell me anything too…I bet I’d have done the same thing! Hope it heals quickly :/

Josie, I love your pinkness! I hope you didn’t beat down the sign in anger afterwards. I know it caused you pain but it did say ‘Danger!’ This just reminds me of when my mate accidentally walked into a lamp post so hard that it made his arms swing out in front of him, haha!
Ok, ok I’ll stop laughing now *sympathy gestures* Hungry Jenny x

Don’t make out with signs. Especially dangerous ones. That is a bad habit.
I should know.
