4pm run at Bluff with JH; COLD; 27 with 15 WC; overcast/no sun; N 15-26 mph. DP 3. Asics DS Trainer
Wow what a negative difference this cold and dry air is for me. Very hard to breath and in first few miles my head even started spinning & feeling light (and this is not an occasion of too few calories). And when we initially did a hill repeat it was weird, feeling like running in slow motion. My quads were also still slightly sore today. Finally, even with hard freeze something is hitting my allergies = sneezing, nose, eyes.
I did end up feeling a little more adapted in last few miles and finished up with 8 x striders (making these miles ~7:10 pace). The cold is also making my sore ankle ligament much more sensitive. Still...overall glad to be out and running. We did run a few miles with the Lone Ranger....Byron; maybe he was just cold but all the deer we kept running by provided better company today. Now if I can just avoid going home and eating a bunch of simple carbs like yesterday....joys of winter-like weather.
