Today I decided to run on 11th thinking that would be warmer than my typical route up City Creek.
I left the house around 9am after my second meeting and was headed for an some sort of an easy run.
I dressed warm, 3 layers on top, hat plus the hood of my running top and gloves...a mile into my run I removed the hood ..then by the turn around point at the intersection w Virginia St. I was overheated and took my gloves off...the run back was better as my legs were moving better than in the first 3 miles...It was hard to breathe the cold air so the run did not feel as easy..plus I keep having the issue with my hamstrings being too sore (at the glute attachments)all the time...
I was happy that I was able to run up the hill of the capitol (1 mile straight up) without stopping until I got home...that is over a 10 min mile...ouch...
I feel I am getting slower but at least I am enjoying the scenery...it might be the cold weather?? Or maybe the cycling camp at Contender that leaves me tired w/o legs every Tues/Thurs
