Started running this morning in 15 degree weather with a mild wind according to the www.weather.com. But this is a run I want to forget. I never really felt that great in the run. My rhythm and stride were just off. I've been fighting a cold and sore throat and that really hindered me. On top of that my right foot is back to hurting where I was limping after the run. But that's not all the adventures that happened in this run. At mile 11 I decided to do one more mile to try and work out the sluggish feeling and finish strong. I started on the last mile and ran behind an old abandoned Albertson's store. Suddenly, has I was running I tripped, and did a face plant right on the pavement. I got up and realized my lip was cut inside and a few cuts on the forehead. I immediately got up and headed home, but I was dizzy and my vision was seeing sideways all the way home. I think I'm suffering from a mild concussion, because I still feel dizzy typing this at work. Anyway, I'll monitor my health and will see a doctor if it gets worse. I ran 12.31 at an overall 7:19 pace in 1:30 up the Satterfield hill loop. Today I was trying to keep things slow since my rhythm was off, and I wasn't doing well on the run anyway.
