Twice is two too many!

Today, for the second time in my life while running, I stepped on a metal hoop, flipping it up with one foot, and catching it with my other foot - all in a split second of action. Both times sent me crashing to the ground. Youch!

Bottom of pic shows hoop trickery. Knee-high bit of pic shows just what the evil hoop can do.

My heartfelt appeal to the handful of you who read my blog: if you happen to have a metal hoop in your possession, do please keep track of it! (Apparently they are clever escape artists.) And when you are finished with said metal hoop, please-oh-please dispose of it properly. The middle of a sidewalk or road is simply not a good final resting place for hoops!
