Today did not get off onto a great start. I was running with a group of 6 planning on doing 8 or 9 miles. We were only 400 meters into the run when I fell. BOO. I was running from the sidewalk to the road by Helaman Halls and it looked all clear of snow and ice. But the white line of the crosswalk was very icy. I slipped on that and instead of falling sideways, my knees buckled and I landed straight on my knees before falling over. It hurt so flippin bad. My knees were ringing with pain and felt locked- I had the girls lift me up because I couldn't move. It all happened so fast but I said I was fine and wanted to get my miles in, so we ran Carterville. My knees hurt (obviously) my left knee started killing by mile 4 and the last mile I was limping along I finished at 7 to inspect the damage. My right knee was really scraped up- my thick tights ripped and I was bleeding a lot. My left knee wasn't as scraped but it was the one that really hurt. I went to get them cleaned and bandaged in the training room and just went home.
