This means you have to run in the street. Not the safest way to run, but at least you can get in an outdoor run as long as you stick to side streets that don't get much traffic.
On Sunday, I had a 10 mile run to do. I headed out and was pleased to see that many of the streets had wet spots where the snow was starting to melt. About 1 mile in to my 10 miler, I ran across one of these "wet" spots.....except it wasn't wet, it was ice. As soon as my right foot hit the icy spot, down I went.
I scrapped up my knee a little, but nothing major. A little road rash and a pretty decent size bump. But, I picked myself up, dusted off my pants and my ego and kept on running!
I swear it was the only icy spot I came across during my entire run........only me.
Ouch!! So sorry! I've been having to be very careful as well. That melting snow is a mess!
ReplyDeleteYes, ouch! We don't really get snow but in winter water on the road from other sources sometimes do freeze. So far I have no "ice fall" on my resume. I hope I keep it that way.
ReplyDeleteWell, you're a trooper. I've been so addicted to the treadmill lately, it's not a wonder I haven't bit it on that thing.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better, I still on occassion, fall over on my bike because I cant get unclipped
ReplyDeleteI really need to stop whining about the cold here when you're dealing with all that snow and ice, and still getting training done.
ReplyDeleteI need to .... but I probably won't. Just not a fan of winter anymore.
Ow! I agree...the thing about big snow is that you are forced into the streets. I had a neighbor (non-runner) complain about this once to me and I told her that if people would just shovel their sidewalks, all that could be avoided!
ReplyDeleteOuch! Love the scrape pic though ;) It's so tricky to tell wet from ice in the winter! I hope you guys quit getting pounded with snow!
ReplyDeleteOoh that looks so sore! We've had our own issues with slippery surfaces here. I spent yesterday admiring a friend's bruises from when she went down because of a patch of mud. Too much rain this year!
ReplyDeleteWe don't seem to have had a lot of snow acculmulation here this year, just a lot of snowy type days. Hope your knee feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that! Hope the snow melts a ton soon.

ReplyDeleteOuch! Figures it'd be the only spot you could slip on that your foot finds. haha.

Glad you are okay and just picked yourself up and kept running. I've had some pretty close calls this winter myself.
