Up toward LCC and back. Wind and snow in face. It's great to be alive!

Scheduled workout: 8 miles with 5 miles at tempo, 6:20 to 6:30 pace.  Did the 5 miles in 31:28 - 6:17 pace.  1-2 inches of snow on the roads at 5:15 a.m. this morning - I know that cost me a few seconds per mile, so I was proud of my effort and progress.  Definitely was digging deep to bring the last mile in on pace.

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.

Recovering from what I believe to be a mild concussion.
