As if I didn’t already have enough reason to love Road ID since they gave me two $35 e-coupons to give away on my blog (I still have one saved for another lucky reader), my Cruiser friend Katie just told me about this new iPhone app!
According to the founder of Road ID, as one of the first people to download the app, I have “made it very apparent that you are ‘I am’ a wicked-smart pioneer, a trendsetter and all-around amazing human being.” Why, thank you, Edward! I couldn’t have said it better myself!
As an “adopter” of the Road ID app, I received a 10% coupon via email once I set up my account. So hurry and upload your free app and maybe you’ll receive one, too!
Warning: If you get queasy easily, you may not want to read any farther!
I was so excited about my new app, that I decided to celebrate by eating an avocado! But then the knife slipped when I stabbed the seed to pull it out and went through the avocado and into the palm of my hand…
Fortunately, the knife didn’t go all of the way through my hand! Yes, the first thing I did was turn my hand over to make sure it hadn’t. I’m off to the wellness center a little early to have one of the doctors take a look at my lovely little puncture wound. I’m sure it’s fine and I’m just being dramatic, but since I’ll be there to train my clients anyway, I might as well have someone look at it.
That’s what I get for having a healthy snack… I’ve never stabbed myself eating a french fry!
UPDATE: The doctor at the wellness center put a stitch in my hand and recommended I get a tetanus shot since the wound is deep and I haven’t had a tetanus shot in nine years. Typing is fun since my hand is bandaged like a crab claw and my fingers are still numb! 🙂
- Questions:
- Do you think that you will download the app?
- What other cool running apps do you use?
- Are you as big of a danger to yourself as I am?
Yikes! Probably a good idea to have it checked & to make sure you’re up to date on tetanus!
The doctor at the wellness center put a stitch in it. I’m going to my regular doctor tomorrow morning for a tetanus shot since the wound was so deep and it’s been nine years since my last one. 🙁
Ugh!!! Avocados are so slippery! Yay for being a trend setter!
Avocados are slippery and I’m a klutz! 😉
thanks for information on the app! cool!
You’re welcome!
Ouch! I am seriously the most accident-prone person, or clutzy I guess is the reality. I love Road ID too! I have an Android phone so I’ll have to see if they have the app for Android.
Fingers crossed that Road ID has an Android app!
Whoa, careful there! I actually think about that EVERY TIME I try to get the seed out of an avocado. Dangerous work. Glad it’s not too serious and hopefully you’ll have a speedy recovery!
I have always wished that Garmin had a feature like that – where someone could logon and see where you were at a specific time. I guess it’s because they don’t have 3G. Lame.
That would be a great idea for Garmin to have that feature. I wonder if Map my Run has it; however, the problem with Map my Run is that it sucks down the battery on the phone so quickly.
Hahaha….have I mentioned how much I LOVE the idea of an “eCrumb”? And the name…it’s just…too much. Love it.
I don’t usually run with my phone (too much of a rain/sweat liability), but for those who do – this looks like a pretty clever app. I may just have to test it out on non-runs…I’m always looking for smart apps to share with my running clients!
Hope you are stitch-free. That would be a very pesky place to have to get stitches. Yeeouch.
I ended up with one stitch, and practically zero pain. Yay for no pain! 🙂
Oh, no! Your hand! THANK YOU for the warning, btw. I don’t do well with pictures like that.
I hope you are not in too much pain for too long. Darn avocado. I’m going to download the app right now. I want to be an all-around amazing human being, too!
OUCH!!!!!!!! I hope your hand is feeling better today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it’s feeling fine today. It made driving all day today interesting, though!
Ahhhhhh your hand! When I saw that picture I unconsciously balled both of my hands up into fists. Barry looked at the picture and said “Nice!”. I am more afraid of cutting myself with a knife than getting cut by almost anything else (remember my lovely barbed wire incident?) and I am always super careful when I cut avocados. I’m glad the knife wasn’t sicking out the other side of your hand!
Surprisingly, it doesn’t hurt much! 🙂
[…] I go out on a run I always wear my Road ID on my shoes and now that I have my new iPhone app, I’m as safe and identifiable as I can be, short of running with a body guard or Mace. When […]
