Bloody Runner

I didn't think I was going to dress up in costume for this Halloween - but it turns out I did take on a persona - the bloody runner. Running in daylight during the week now is not an option - sunrise isn't until 6:30 am, the time that I should be in shower, getting ready to go to work - and when I leave work now it's dark. But, tonight being Halloween and only needing to get an easy 35 minute run in, I decided to run on the sidewalks in my neighborhood. I knew it would be safe with all the parents ands kids out trick or treating. Since it's warm today, I headed out in my shorts and tank. 20 minutes in, I was feeling good, when all of the sudden, I tripped, fell, and slide on my knees, shins, and palms of my hands down a hill. The sidewalk was uneven and it was not well lit at all. Ouch! I didn't know what hit me. It hurt. I was about 5 blocks from my house. So I started walking home - blood running down my legs. Walking among the kids in their costumes, I was the bloody runner.
