Lucas Takes a Spill

December 12, 2017 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Mid to high teens

Comments:
Today, we ran 6.1 miles down the Coolidge loop (I once again used Joe Broken Ankle's GPS data). I ran mostly with Lucas, BJ, and Broken Ankles. Our pace was initially a bit fast..... until we all turned right on a corner. Lucas biffed it pretty hard on the turn and fell on his knee. We all stopped, as we watched Lucas limp and hobble helplessly for 3 minutes. He recovered, but our pace slowed down a bit after that lol.

It was a really quality run. We ran on a lot of snow and ice and it was absolutely freezing, but still got a decent, easy effort in for the day.

Also update: I did not get into the Chicago marathon. My two much slower friends did, but the lottery system did not work in favor. Oh well, I guess I'll focus on one more year of XC next fall.
