I met the group at Parkway Palisades at 5:45. Some of them had already warmed-up and took off right away. I ran back with Michelle and Cheris, we decided we need more warm-up time, although I guess Cheris had run a little beforehand. Anyway, we managed to keep the main group somewhat within sight, then they came back and regrouped with us, then we all stayed pretty much together for the remainder of the run. We did hill repeats on the big hill by Lampton, which was tough but hopefully helpful. I'm thinking if we run Painter's we'd better get some hill work in. When we finally got to some downhill on one of the main streets in Parkway Palisades, I did what I worry about doing this time of year--I fell. I don't think I hit any ice, I think my foot just got caught on a small pile of snow. Anyway, thanks to my gloves and two pairs of pants, I really wasn't hurt. Peggy fell near the end of the run; I didn't see that happen but she told us about it. Hopefully those are our only spills for this year. |
