... except for the fact that at 9:00 am, the temperature is below freezing and has been all night, turning Tuesday's lovely, runable slush into ice, including hard-to-see black ice. How did I find the black ice if it's so hard to see? The hard way, I tell you. The hard way.
My lovely tempo run turned into 2.25 miles run with almost constant fear of falling. I would have stopped earlier, but it's a loop in the park. Once I figured out that it wasn't getting any better, I was too far in. I slipped and cussed my way through the run and promptly went home to stretch with my yoga partner. He's very helpful.
You were smart to stop. The last time I ran outside, I felt like I was compromising form because I was being so cautious. The funny part was we stopped for water and I relaxed and THEN all of a sudden hit a big patch of black ice. I caught myself and didn't fall, but I got all tense!

Thanks, y'all! That picture is from this summer- I could not wear a tank top this time of year without freezing! James and I love to do yoga together. Even though he makes it a little less mental, he does put in a bunch of fun.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I'm glad I found your blog, too! We really do have a lot in common!
