Daley Suffers Minor Injury During Workout

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― Mayor Daley showed up at a news conference Monday to announce his administration's efforts to provide winter heating assistance services with a welt near his right eye apparently suffered during a weekend workout.

Mayoral press secretary Jacquelyn Heard said Daley suffered the facial injury, either while picking up a weight or using some other piece of exercise equipment.

She was sketchy on the details, but insisted that no stitches were required to close the cut near the mayor's right eyebrow.

It wasn't the first time that Daley had been the worse for wear after working up a sweat.

In 1998, the mayor ripped the skin off his kneecap when his mountain bike skidded off a gravel path outside Berrien Springs, Mich. At the time, Daley was mid-way through a 120-mile journey.
