Today it snowed so there was a bunch of slush all over. We ran down to the end of Art Dye, then started the workout of two 8 minute thresholds with two minutes inbetween. We started the first one on the trail that follows the river through AF for a little. We were about three minutes into the first one, when we were going around a corner and I hit the slush at just the wrong angle and slipped hard. It took my legs completely out from under me and my head smacked into the ground, followed by my knee. I told everyone else to go ahead and finish the tempo, and I went and sat down on a bench to check out my wounds. My knee was bleeding real bad, so I took off my shirt and wrapped it up and jogged over to AF to wash it out. After I cleaned out my knee the best I could I ran back to Lone Peak with Cole and Jamison. My forehead has a big bob of road rash on it which is annoying, and my knee hurts which really makes me mad since I had such high hopes going into the race next week.
