    A couple months ago I was running on a fairly popular hiking trail. I just topped out after a mile of continuous uphill, and was starting to pick up speed. About 50 yards ahead of me was two women walking with their backs to me. As I closed the distance I called out "coming up", and just as they both turn to see me coming, my feet just disappear out from under me, and I barrel roll off the side of the trail into the rocks, sticks, dirt, and cactus... ending up on my back, feet in the air like a dying roach.

    I jumped up... ran past them, and asked for my scores. :laugh:

    Thank you for the good laugh! :bigsmile: You rock!!!

    I was all dressed up and had on one of my favorite pairs of shoes (they have about a 5 inch heel). So I leave the front door to go to the car and as I am stepping down the front stairs...its like they just disappear. I fell off the front porch and belly flopped the lawn. lol I am sure it was a sight to see!!!

    You gotta play it off!!! If you just trip but dont fall act like youre taking a jump shot and say "swish nothing but net". If you fall and eat your *kitten* you yell "SAFE......that's how you steal second base" makes it look like you did it intentionally.


    These two sayings have kept me from ever falling........ever.

    I fell last month. I was rying to avoid falling over my dogs, so instead I tripped over a wooden post and ended up with a nail stuck in my foot........ouch!

    Two weeks ago in the Sam's club parking lot. Just bought a new broom (do I know how to live or what?!) and while walking to the car, the broom shifted on the stupid flatbed cart and went between my feet. Down I went on hands and knees. Then to add insult to injury a really good looking guy comes running over to help me asking "ma'am are you O.K.". Ma'am??????? That hurt worse than the fall!

    I trip and/or fall on a regular basis....I just joke that my @$$ has its own gravitational pull

    Last time I was in a public area...couple saturdays ago...went out dancing with friends. I haven't been dancing since before I was hurt in a car accident in August. Nothing serious just taking time for some internal bruising to heal. I was in 4 inch heals and actually getting into it when I felt myself losing my balance and just when I was about to catch myself...I GET BUMPED by some other chic's BIG BUTT!! DOWN I WENT!! To make matters worse, this hot guy that I use to have a big crush on when I was 18 saw it .... :noway: Thankfully he was nice and helped me up and I was laughing b/c I laugh when I'm nervous anyways. I made a joke and thanked him :blushing:

    The last time I could laugh at a fall was when I was a senior in high school. We were dressed up for a field trip to the local banks to apply for jobs. After leaving one bank, I was talking to a friend when I did a front flip over a post in my skirt. There was a parking sign on the sidewalk that was just crotch high. It took me a minute to catch my breath, but I was fine.
