This was my first really cold weather run in almost a year. \u00a0I had forgotten how exhilarating it can be to run in cold weather. \u00a0After three days recovering from a one-hour run on the boardwalk, \u00a0I was determined to get out this morning no matter the conditions. \u00a0I dressed in many layers with winter hat and gloves. I did warm-up drills and stretching indoors for 20 minutes. \u00a0I ran three very pleasant, progressive miles dropping from 13 to 12 to 11 minutes as I moved on. \u00a0I finished with no foot or leg issues. \u00a0 A gentle cool-down of jogging and walking made the entire effort almost an hour. \u00a0I am still pleased with my aerobic conditioning. \u00a0Measuring my heart rate after the run, it dropped from 156 down to 120 in less than two minutes: \u00a0 I think that’s pretty good.<\/p>\n
Notes to self;<\/p>\n
I am a little disappointed that it took me three days to recover from a five-mile run on the boardwalk. But I guess that is the status currently of my fitness.<\/p>\n
I like my new routine of doing my one-legged drills, lunges and stretches indoors\u00a0prior to running . \u00a0Gives me 20 minutes of activity with no foot strikes and prepares me for the run as I leave the house.<\/p>\n
I am also disappointed with my failure to keep up with my stats on a daily basis. This is something that I was able to do regularly for six months and do not want to stop.<\/p>\n
