Notes

Run with Nutmeg from my house. A light layer of snow covered the ground just enough to make it difficult to see ice. The run was going along fine as a premeet day until 3 miles in and I slipped on ice turning to head up the hill. For how slow we were going, this was a pretty rough feeling fall, especially compared to some of the falls on dirt the past year. I definitely felt my knee hit on the way down which pissed me off with a race planned tomorrow, to the point that I just took a break on the ground to be frustrated. Got up and started running with Nutmeg again to realize that my shoulder was also very sore. The rest of the run went fine but I didn't feel great and was thinking through what it meant for racing.

Ended up with solid bruises on my shoulder and elbow, and small bruises on both knees that didn't hurt much. Still, this was enough to convince me I didn't want to travel 4 hours for a track meet. I also think it was in my head mentally, which then convinced me more that this wasn't worth the trip. Took a day off with everything feeling pretty good (other than my shoulder which was very sore).
