Training Log Archive: Leanimal

Well this one got cut short when I took a MAJOR bail on a paved trail. I ran on the lake for a while and then headed inland to run on some trails down to the park. I was still on a paved section of trail that was not the least bit slippery when I hit a patch that was glare under a light dusting of snow. I don't even remember falling but I do know why they say "he got his bell rung". I heard what sounded like a gong when my head cracked on the ice. I felt a surge of neural activity in all of my extremities and then I just sat there dazed. I slowly got up and walked home (luckily I was fairly close) and I was trying to make it back before I lost my vision. I was getting funny kaleidoscope visions in both eyes. It turns out I cut my scalp open so when I go to visit my Pops in the hospital (he had a reaction to pain meds for his back but should be home tomorrow) later I am going to see if I need stitches. Hopefully not. Quite the stunner though.

The bummer is that Phatty went back to see if he could find my sunglasses that must have flown off and I forgot about but they were gone. I had just passes a woman running in the opposite direction and she must have turned around and scooped them up - crappers.

Ankle has been sore so I have avoided running for a few days but I could not resist a sunny morning ski on the lake. Conditions were perfect (I can't believe I didn't bring my skate skis). I was down to a long sleeve, no hat and no gloves by the end. Absolute bliss.

I had to leave Phatty at home with a teething Weeanimal while I went out for a run in the sunshine around the old stomping grounds in London. Beauty day out but my ankle was a little stiff starting out.

Phatty and I went out for another circumnavigation of Fanshawe Lake today while Nana was watching Weeanimal. Phatty sprained his ankle the other day and thought it wouldn't be a problem but it was. I had to leave him after 30 minutes and continue on my own. I felt pretty good but my ankle was a bit sore by the end. The trails had a light dusting of snow, some ice and some funky frozen ground from bikes but all in all a good run. Back to the house for a hot tub.
