Cold morning for running, 40 degrees out! Brrrr.
Ran 10 with the 1/2 marathon training group on base. AP: Very slow.
About mile 3 I tripped and ripped my left knee open. I knew there was a deep gash on my leg but I didn't want to stop, make a fuss in front of the other ladies, so I got up and kept running. When I saw my leg in the light it was a fright! Blood had gushed down my leg and dried in a crazy manner. I just told everyone I had dressed up for Halloween a little too late. Looked a lot worse than it felt.
Running on base in circles isn't that bad, YET. We did two four mile loops, plus two miles (optional). It was very nice getting outside and running with some friends! |
