I was running in the desert south of Phoenix. I took a nasty spill but had the presence of mind not to lock my arms. So, I was badly scraped up but otherwise uninjured. Absolutely no one commented the scabs on my face and hands until I stopped at the Vietnamese grocery in Tucson. The old lady at the checkout took one look at me and said "what happened to you?" I told her I had tripped while running. She paused a bit then said "it's better to tell people you were boxing". πŸ˜‚
