Disaster! I went to track this morning at 5 a.m. to run splits, after 2 mile warmup on streets. I had checked the track yesterday afternoon to make sure it was clear of snow and ice and, as far as I could see, it was clear. There was an inch of snow on the track this morning and I managed to find a patch of ice under the snow as I rounded a turn and BOOM! I went down hard. It is now 5 p.m. and I still have no memory of picking myself up, gathering my stuff and going to my car. I have a vague memory of driving home. My headlamp is busted. I've had a mild headache all day. No goose egg. No vomiting and no dilated pupils. Perhaps a mild concussion? I may have to take a few days off to avoid bouncing my brain in this condition. Why did I think I should I still run splits on a track covered in an inch of snow? Pain is just weakness leaving your body.
