10 miles ice skating around my neighborhood.  Scary terrain.  The fog was so low that the humidity froze the clouds on the pavement, making a lovely ice layer to run/skate on. Each lap the fog got thicker and the roads icier.  I left at 3:55am.  Earlier than usual as I worked at Utah Valley Hospital today rather than American Fork which is one mile from my house.  Had to get back in time to drive in the fog safely.  But really I had much more difficult time running in it.  Slippery all over the slanted church parking lot and at mile 7.5 I went down hard, flying thru the air.  One might say I did a forced, immediate plank.  Think Mission Impossible move before hitting the ground except that I didn't get to be suspended in air, I hit the ground with my palms and a bit on my left inner knee.  I was not happy.  My back also was not happy.  But I really don't think anything is bruised too badly.  Just tender and achy from braking my fall.  I decided no more running thru the church parking lot in this fog.  Way too icy and visibility low.  It WAS VERY EERIE!!!  I am so glad I have never seen the movie THE FOG as my imagination already got the best of me.  I was startled  by everything.  I was wondering how insane I have become.  Seriously?  What am I doing here?  Silly crazy me.  Of course my pace reflects the icy challenge.  Nothing fast as that would have been a greater catastrophe.  AP for 10 miles =  8:44.  This run not recommended to any of my friends.  Hope you all got on your TMs if you were in the area.

It was very icy on Monday. I'm glad you've been practicing those planks :) I can't believe you still ran 2.5 miles after that.

I figured I made it 12 miles after biffing it worse on Antelope 32 miler almost two years ago, no use to use excuses even in fog and ice. Working on my mental toughness to push thru pain. I am THAT insane : D. Hey when is that baby coming to see me?

Hey neighbor! I live just around the corner and someday when I get my hiney in shape, we will have to go for a run! It always nice to have buddies to go with. My cousin Callie (she a FR Blogger too) is just around the corner too. Nice workout! The roads were super icey!

Hi!!! Did you happen to have your triplets in the NICU at UVRMC? I worked there for 17 years. I currently work at AFH for the past 2 years. Glad too to have running buddies all around. I am sure we have passed each other on the streets!! What are your goals for the coming year?

From Toby on Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 00:23:02 from 216.194.124.37

Nope, we had our trio in Arizona. But I had #4 at AFH (I could see my backyard from my hospital room) - it was a fantastic place!

I am coming back from an ankle stress fracture, so I'm still slow (but at least I am able to run!).

My tentative plans are UV 1/2 marathon, Hobble Creek and SGM (a few 5 and 10K's too). There are a few gals I run with...so we will all have to get together!
