\"\"<\/a>We’ve been seeing our fair share of more winter weather lately and again it’s been impeding my running routine.\u00a0 Last week we had a lovely ice strom which kept me and Rocky inside for two days.\u00a0 By Thursday both of us were chomping at the bit to get outside.<\/p>\n

I got in a short run and it was so nice! I had my YakTrax on and took a completely slow and cautious 3.5 mile run around the neighborhood.\u00a0 Then I was able to take Rocky out and walk him.\u00a0 He slipped a few times but we were able to make it around the neighborhood without too much issue.<\/p>\n

Friday I took the day off as I was tired and a tad sore from MT<\/abbr> conditioning class the day before.\u00a0 Saturday I was going to run again but we again had a day of really nasty weather.\u00a0 It was snowing\/freezing raining for the majority of the day.<\/p>\n

Today I was determined to get out and get some miles in.\u00a0 It was warm outside this morning, 30 degrees.\u00a0 Hooray!\u00a0 Out the door I went and was cruising along ready to bust out 8 miles.\u00a0 I was on the road because the sidewalks were a little slick.\u00a0 The guy delivering the Sunday paper had his truck parked in the middle of the street.\u00a0 I was kind of forced to go on the sidewalk because I didn’t want to run around an idling vehicle (safety first gang!). I was trying to hurry a bit so I could pass the guy before we intersected on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

I hopped the curb, cleared the grass and just stepped down on the sidewalk when WHOOSH and I was on the ground.<\/p>\n

I felt myself lose balance and was thinking that I could get it back but my feet wiped out and I slammed down on the sidewalk on my right side.\u00a0 The paper guy asked me if I was okay and I said I was.<\/p>\n

Stupid ice! It was really thin and I didn’t even see it on the sidewalk.\u00a0 My right knee took most of the damage. I checked it out and it was only slightly red. I was going to finish my 8 miles but I knew Scott would be ticked off at me if I did. I knew the exact conversation we would have had about it too:<\/p>\n

Scott: So you fell and your right knee slammed against frozen concrete and you felt that you still needed to run 8 miles?<\/p>\n

Me: Um, yes.<\/p>\n

And then I would have been on the receiving end of the Scott Stink Eye.\u00a0 I decided to avoid that and compromise.<\/p>\n

I ran 5 miles instead.<\/p>\n

My leg started getting a little stiff on that last mile so it was good that I didn’t keep going longer than that.\u00a0 I came home, showered, and then put some muscle oil all over my knee.\u00a0 Took some ibuprofen and now I’m just hanging out.<\/p>\n

Have you ever tripped or slipped on ice while out running?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
