It rained in my neck of the woods a few times in December, just recently a couple of days ago. This story happened on the 1st week in December. I love in North Florida and we haven't been getting a lot of rain and it's been pretty warm up to that point. So I was going to work and decided to wear my boat shoes to work because they look good with my uniform. So I walked down stairs from my apartment and as soon as I stepped on the concrete walkway, with one foot on it and the other foot getting ready to step down on the pavement. I slipped down on the ground. My butt on pavement and I scraped my lower to mid back against the concrete walkway. My right foot was pinned under my driver's side rear tire, knee twisting awkwardly to the left and my left leg, foot straight out in front of me. I did a split. I was so embarrassed because my neighbor saw the whole thing. So, I got up angry with myself and I felt a twinge of pain in my right ankle and knee. Thought for sure I pulled something. I hobbled for a few days and I tried to exercise on it. Yes, I'm dedicated to my fitness, but I couldn't do anything. It was a long story. I decided to not wear those boat shoes for the foreseeable future and I went out to the store and purchased me some better shoes. Some with grip.

Damn, that sounds like it really hurt :confounded:

Footwear is important, a good pair of shoes is worth the funds.

It's a good thing you already stay active! If you'd been out of shape it could have hurt so much worse. I know. I was out of shape last time I busted my butt. :tired_face:

Yes it did. Truthfully my pride was hurt more than the physical pain itself, but yes it hurt for sure. It nagged me for days on in. I tried to do Yoga ..Vinyasa Flow Yoga and I can say for sure that my ankle was on fire, but I had to get it done. Yes, footwear is majorly important. I won't neglect my feet again.

Ouch.... I hope that you are doing well now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts..

Landing on concrete hurts. I landed on my tailbone after falling off a ladder and I was seeing stars and it knocked the wind out of me! I'm glad you didn't break anything!

Thank you so much. I am glad too, it did a number on me when I tried to do some cardio later on that night... So tender..
