This was a run that was not meant to be.
Snow, ice, and puddles thwarted my every turn. I got trapped like some sort of polar bear on the ice, wondering how the hell I got where I was and where the hell was solid land (or a fish, polar bears like fish.)
I should have known when I was getting Gatorade for my run and I stepped an a shard of glass so deep that I had to call tall boy back from work to help remove it, that I should have just stayed home. The calves felt tight from the get go, but I figured they'd loosen up. The did not. Soon my knee and hip were joining in the protest and finally, after slipping and sliding down the ramp like some sort of olympic skeleton racer, my ankle took up the fight. I couldn't seem to drink enough, despite drinking water and Gatorade all morning. The tipping point came when I lost footing and landing on my ass in a snow bank. I screamed "OK PARK! YOU WIN!" and headed home.
I saw approximately 995 snowmen in the park, and there were so many photographers, I thought someone famous was out there, too.
I'm going to Atlantic City tomorrow. This could be very, very dangerous....especially since I am so crabby about this run...hold on to your granny panties!

Oh no! Don't tell me you tried to run in FMP! There are so many innocent puddles and mysterious black ice and all that. I'm avoiding the park until further notice...or at least until the snow melts!
Either way, hope you "refuel" in Atlantic City! Come back refreshed! Have fun!
