Well, my foot is finally feeling good enough to run. I had it wrapped and limping for 2 days; the 3rd day I was hurting everywhere else from limping; and the 4th day the pain was almost completely gone. So really, I should've gone running yesterday but I was absorbed in a book again. Today, I can finally say that I ran through the snow, while it was snowing, and when it was below freezing (all 3 firsts for me!) The snow made downhill a dream - easy and padded. Uphill was tough, though. I had to laugh at my outfit, too -- I was so worried that I didn't have warm enough running gear, so I piled on everything I could think of. So, while I was running in 2 pairs of socks, 2 pants, 2 shirts, a windbreaker, a hat, and a scarf .... I remembered Sasha saying that 20 degrees was the borderline for him between shorts or pants. I was running in 25 degrees, and would've died in shorts! Of course, I only went 2 miles (rather than 7-15 that he runs) and was comfortable the first mile and carrying my scarf and gloves on the second mile. lol Glad I finally got out. I was actually missing it. (Never thought I'd feel that way about running - that is progress all in itself, isn't it?) |
