"Smashed my Finger"

While working on one of my projects.  It hurt like effin hell, but all I could think about is, how's this gonna affect my training?

But I think I'm gonna be okay.  I don't need to swim for a few days, and I think that will be the only problem.  It turned blue right away, but I quickly drilled a hole in my finger nail (old toolmakers trick) and that helped a great deal by letting some of the blood out.

I also iced it several times, and then wrapped it very tight.  Probably too tight, because 10 minute later it was throbbing even worse.  So I took the wrapping off and started over.  The second time it felt so much better, til I realized that the finger beside the one I wrapped still felt like hell!!  I laughed out loud, and started over again!

And it was a totally productive day again.  I think I got even more done than yesterday.  I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep, and right after I drop Colb at the Y in the morning, I'm heading out for my 150 kms.  Woohoo.  They promise sunshine all freakin day!  Woohoo!!
