I have some advice for you, my friends:
After you go on an exceptional run...and you are walking in the house-(still reveling in what a big-shot you are for breaking your 6-mile record)...in the dark, rounding the corner you've rounded a thousand times...be careful.
Because if you aren't, you may run a thousand miles an hour SMACK into the wall. You will wonder when and how the wall grew just enough inches longer to fully flatten your otherwise happy little nose. And, your nose will be bleeding before you even peel it off the wall. And you will laugh, even though the blow brought instant, unthinking tears to your eyes, probably because you popped your tear ducts too; you WERE going fast.
The next day, you will feel like someone shot you in the face, through your nose, of course. You will wonder if you will die, you will be pretty certain your brain is swollen and that this REALLY might be the hill you will die on. And you will take some Tylenol and ice your face. And you will live.
But next time, you will turn on the light. And probably just walk as you round the corner you've rounded a thousand times...

thats awesome. really really awesome. :)
I can't believe somebody moved the wall! You shouldn't have to turn on the light when running through the house. So inconsiderate, really. Why would they do that?
Ouch! Sorry. That sounds really painful. Why does life think it has to smack us in the face to keep us humble sometimes? Hope your nose feels better fast :)
I'm so sorry - I do feel your pain.
That was your mom, not Jeff. Sorry :(
Too bad there's no video. :) I hope your nose feels better soon. Did it flatten your eyelashes too?
That is horrible! I'm sorry Jules!
oh jules i KNOW the feeling. I ran into a wall sleep walking (hence the later needed surgery for a severely deviated septum). It was a rude awakening and I can feel for ya! Sorry kiddo...Get that nose checked though. even if you don't think you broke anything, you could've AND it's easier for them to re-break it back if it hasn't fully healed....good luck! sorry. you have my sympathy =(
Dear Jules-
That sounds like it really hurt and I am so sorry. I am even more sorry after reading that last comment about checking to see if your nose needs to be "re-broken" ouch!! It's been a while, and I haven't noticed any posts with nose bandages, so hopefully that was not necessary!
