tip: trees are as hard as wood
I should not have joked about running into a lamp post. Karma has a way of getting even (I think that’s sorta the point!) and I ran into a tree today. Yes, you read right. I ran into a tree.
It was hot so I decided to duck into nicely shaded dirt trails. Seemed like a good idea at the time until I overestimated the height of a series of branches going across the trail and did not duck enough. I hit it pretty hard! Not hard enough to knock me on my ass but I do distinctly recall seeing little tweety birds floating over me. 
Good thing I was wearing my impervious Canada running hat or I’d have quite a nasty scratch/bump!

Ouch. Sounds like you survived with perhaps only a bruised ego
