It is still COLD..
I NEVER said in the HEAT and HUMIDITY of Summer that I wanted it to be cold.. I always prefer moderate temps.. So I don't have any guilt is saying that I am REALLY tired of this.. Good news though.. I think this is the last night of temps in the teens.... after tomorrow there will be a warming trend that will start in lows of around 25* and end the week with lows in the 40's.
I think the same aches and pains that are magnified in the extreme heat of summer, present themselves the same with the extreme cold comes around. I have sore thighs from yesterdays long run and there is no reason that they should be feeling this way.. all I can think is that the cold muscles won't allow my natural stride and that the compensation works different muscles.. thus I am sore. I think the same can be said of my Achilles.. all of a sudden it is aching.. for no particular reason...
Well.. on with the show.. because it MUST go on!!
Do you think hydration was a factor? I know on my long run today that I finished my water and then a couple of miles later started cramping up in places I'd never experienced before. Then again, maybe it's just too frickin' cold!
ReplyDeletewell.. To tell the truth.. during these winter runs I don't hydrate during the long runs.. so it maybe a factor.. maybe...
