Funny you should mention that, on my run Friday I almost bit it when I moved over as a car approached that didn't yield, driving close to the edge right at me. The roads here are pretty narrow, not much shoulder besides what angles down into the ditch. As I moved over the narrow bit of grass before the ditch was covered in snow and apparently not quite flat underneath as one of my legs went out right as the car was approaching only feet away. Luckily it only required a bit of arm flailing and I regained my balance as the car zipped by probably within arms reach. That was a bit startling. About a mile later I had another incident... this time I went down and got a face full of snow lol.
No harm done except to my pride. I don't recall if I've ever fallen before... maybe once or twice but its very rare. Darn shoes! I love my Soft Stars but the street soles are treadles and slick if its slippery conditions. I may have to finally consider something else.
Saturday I had to skip running due to time. And Saturday night I started getting sick while at work. Sinuses and throat are pretty sore. Today I slept in all the way till I had to get ready for work, needed every bit of rest I could get. Feeling a bit better today, but that left me with a pretty low mileage week, only around 6.5 miles.
But that is ok I needed a rest week. I'm hoping this bug passes quickly too since I only have Mon-Wed to run next week, it'll be another low mileage week. I've already run a lot more miles than I have in any previous year, broke 1,000 miles for the first time ever so I am really happy about that. I was trying to get some high mileage weeks in still but I guess I can leave the 1200 mile goal for another year.
