Red Striped and Bruised
I have always bruised easily. When I played football in school I took a certain pride in the monstrous blooms of crimson and purple which would spread across my body like so many bubonic jellyfish pulsing just below the surface of my skin. It didn’t take long to realize that the body will always heal itself… the bruises people can’t see are much, much harder to handle. In my first race of 2009 I managed to give myself a few of each.
