Workout: 18 miles (increase speed for the final 3 miles)
Conditions:
- 27 degrees
- Ice on roads and sidewalks
Thoughts:
- 18 miles was to be my Saturday workout, but I was running a fever and had a bad cough. It rained all day so I thought it best not to push myself and risk my health.
- Even though the roads were slick, I thought that the sun would begin to melt the icy conditions around mile 6. I ran cautiously sliding a few times, but always managing to keep my balance.
- Unfortunately at mile 13 my sunglasses fogged, I didnot see the steps along the library path. I took a hard face-plant on the brick path. My face was covered in blood. My knees were stinging. I tried to get up but fell back down.
- Two bystanders assisted and helped me get my bearings. My best friend came and drove me home.
- Long story short, I have all my teeth! My face is badly scraped, I have a fat lip and bad discoloration under the gums. My knees are swollen and bruised.
- I am taking Advil and icing my knees. I can not straighten my left knee. I have no idea when I'll be able to resume training.
