Hey everyone - just wanted to stop by and give you all an update.

It seems fate has both frowned and smiled upon me at the same time...for I was struck by a car on Thursday, Sept 6th while I was out running for XC practice. Thanks to my concusion, I can't remember much - which is a blessing in some ways.

Now, before you all start freaking out, let me assure you, I'm just fine - well, I've got some rather nasty road rash on both shoulders and knees and I had a minor concusion when my head hit the curb, but other than that, I'm fine. In all actuality, I was really a lot luckier than a lot of people have been and I'm damned lucky that I recieved only the injuries I did. I'm just really REALLY sore right now, but I should be perfectly fine within a few weeks. ^^ I'm just glad that I wasn't more seriously injured - and that my hands have remained largely unaffected by all of this.

Anyway, just continue to pray for my speedy recovery - as this is keeping me from running and that's the one sport I'm actually good at! Also, pray that this whole mess doesn't come back on either me or my coach, who's a really great guy and I'd feel really bad if I somehow got him in trouble.

God bless and keep you all,
Lots and lotsa love,
Ashwulf
