Running + Ice = Bad Idea

Call at cabin fever or the fact that I'm tired of running in a gym, I headed out this morning for a run through the neighborhood. Seeing that I have a half marathon in a couple of months, I need to get crackin.

Amazingly, the snow and ice that arrived last week, is still here. What looks like shadows are nice slick ice patches. I discovered this at the end of my run when I hit a patch, rolled up on my ankle and had a terrific fall.

I'm pretty sure if someone had a camera, the fall would have ended up on YouTube. Even I was laughing ... Oh well, lesson learned. Next time there's ice out, drive for a couple of miles instead. Now I have an excuse to watch the playoffs all afternoon.
