Back home. The x-rays were all negative and by the grace of God I did not break any bones. I have multiple bone bruises, a bone chip and sprains (the left wrist being the worst). Doc said 4-6 weeks until I feel normal. I was able to tie  my own shoes today and guess what? My legs are fine so I went for a run. A little Vitiamin I and 8.25 easy. I have some ground to make up. 

Oh otherwise vaca was great and had a good time! 

PM- about 4 miles easy.

AM- Crisp 50º and loving it. Still very sore in the arms and it does affect some running when I try to push it. Legs are fine though and very pleased about that.
