Ice warning

[Deleted User]

Did a "Wolf with runs" thing yesterday 2 miles into my 6 miler, was enjoying that squeaky sound when running on virgin snow, but what I didn't realise was that under the snow was thick ICE, and I slipped and fell, landing heavily on hip. Wow, that hurts, now the rest of the week's training is in doubt, so... all you guys out there, take care!!

Thanks Fifi - makes me feel better about avoiding the ice two nights this week. I thought it better to miss a bit than risk getting injured.

Hope u feel better soon !

yep, i don't like this compacted snow stuff, that can be quite treacherous too.

primrose hill this morning was like the glass mountain.

if you saw two guys up there at 10.30 a.m one of them about to chuck - that was me after 15 units the night before (birthday, rather than standard consumption, just in case you ask)

yep
went out last night, got to the top of our road far to slippy to run. Went home.
Better safe than sorry.

Did 10K at 1% incline on a treadmill last night. Boring as hell but better than breaking a leg. There's a thaw going on today so hopefully, tomorrows long run can be done as normal. I couldn't face 11 miles staring at a brick wall.
