Notes
I went out to run trails at the mountain, but between the thaw, the refreezing, the thaw, the rain, and then the refreezing the trails were all covered with ice rather than snow. I was going to put some screws in my shoes, but never got around to it, so it made it tough to run up to the top of the mountain at the beginning of the run. When I got there, I tried stopping as I was running over a rock and took a hard fall.
Thankfully, I stopped sliding a good 10 feet from the edge of the cliff. Tore the hell out of the side of my tights that I landed on, but I think that most of the pain was from abrasions rather than impact (outside the hip of course) so I kept up the run. The fall was about 2 miles into the run, total was a bit over 13 and a half.
We actually had quite a few falls. Emma knows how to HTFU - rather than going around the brooks and streams she just ran straight down them. Of course, going over some ice at one point she fell in past her waist, but she was still up for extra miles at the end of the run.
Weather was beautiful, though. As long as there isn't too much swelling today in the knee I should be good for 10 to 12 tomorrow on the roads.
