Marathon Training Log - December 24th - Day 17 - 5 miles.

Well, the morning of Christmas eve was very very very very slick. The rains started freezing, but there was not that much, luckily, or we would have had an ice storm. The temp was not too bad, high 20's, but the footing was absolutely treacherous. Each step had to be carefully placed, muscles tensed to avoid slipping. I had decided that if I were to start to slip, rather than blow out a knee or hamstring, I would tuck and roll off into the ditch. I did my 5 miles, took me 48 minutes. But I did it.
