Notes
Sunny, very cold, 23, wind chill 12deg. 1st run in over a week, really bad cold just wiped me out. Ran to the high school and back through Stickytown. Easy pace just getting back on the horse, plus the air was too cold to run much harder. The wind on the way out was pretty cold, but coming back actually wasn’t too bad. It felt warm in the sun. Legs felt a little dead on the way out but I hiked up and down C-Rec stairs this morning too. The outside of my left knee started hurting again yesterday, from lack of running I think. I noticed it this morning stretching too. It was noticeable on the way out, but not as bad after a few miles. Still snotting some from the cold, but didn’t seem to get phlegmy until after the hills. On the way down to Maple street, I had to stop and cough out the shit in my throat, gagging. After that it wasn’t as bad. Didn’t go too hard on the downhills. Ran across the footbridge and back, just shy of 5.5. Pretty good run for being sick last week. Not as cold as I thought it would be, the sun helped.
Gear: pants, orange W2B tech T, cotton long T, warm headband, buff around my neck, gloves (shed on the way back), sunglasses, water pack.
