Loon injury

 
I was pretty sure I hadn’t had too many ‘traumatic’ injuries (where one specific event caused the injury).  My injury log seems to agree.  Leaving aside the 46 ankle sprains.  Only 16 injuries over 43+ years of running that I could pick the specific moment that the injury happened.  Slippery footing being the major factor in 7 instances (mud/ice).  I only included injuries that lost me time and not when I tweaked something and was able to run through it.
 
As always…be careful out there!
 
Ankle sprain 46 times
Hamstring 5
Knee 3
Ribs 3
Foot 2
Shin, Calf, Quad each once
 
Of the non-ankle injuries, the cause of the injury:
Mud puddle - 4
Fell due to ice - 3
Pothole – 2
Stepped off a sidewalk
Dog tripped me
Speed bump
Ran into: Guard rail/ Bike rack/Sign/Fire Hydrant
