Frosty feet

in #exhaust5 years ago

I just finished a 3.8km run that lasted about 0hh:28mm:51ss !

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, so today was not a great effort.

I'd love to blame the frost that was midway down my steepest hill, and in truth I did skate a little bit... but on the whole, I just wasn't feeling it.... and I think that might have been mainly diet.

Last night I had two dinners and dessert (despite being on a no-junk-food challenge with my GB AKA Gym Buddy AKA The One Friend From Melbourne I Speak To 1000 Times A Day) since it was my partner's actual big number birthday... and went to bed with that crazy full stomach of blurgh. I was still full when I woke up this morning, and just not energetic at all today.

My Achilles were still playing up during this run... so more stretching and calf raises are needed. Speaking of injuries, I'm going to a free, experimental, pain management thingy on Sunday for my elbow. It's called Amino Neuro Frequency Therapy so I'm curious about that. I'll let you know how it goes.

Lastly, does anyone have any tips for running on frost? Just pretend I'm an ice skater?

C'mon... when you've gotta run, you just gotta run!

Hahaha.. It's like how an alcoholic wakes up drunk in the morning still.... Except that's not really funny...

Tips for running on frost? Not certain, man. I've bailed pretty hard on ice and other slippery stuff before -- so I try to avoid it. Even if you don't completely fall, just having a bit of a slip can lead (at least for me) to a pretty serious tweak in my back which would throw me out of sorts. If you've gotta do it, you could also try to get some YakTrax or something similar, but that might be overkill...

Stay safe out there!

For $35, it's not a bad solution at all... because we're up the hill a bit, apparently we get more snow than Portland does... so I honestly don't really know what I'm in for once actual winter hits.

Totally with you on the slippage... I honestly did feel the tweak potential with my sudden chaotic windmilling arm dance moves on the frost.

You’re insane I wouldn’t run on frost unless it was for my life 😆 only thing I can think of is stay lower but that’s pretty much pretend you’re ice skating and I have exactly no experience whatsoever so you know what actually just ignore me 🤣

Good luck with the whatever it is, hope it makes your elbow stop hurting!

Hahaha, you're so good. I could, of course, never ignore you... and honestly, skating through like a Bradbury was my absolute first reaction. Which made me laugh thinking about a massive 4X4 turning the corner and seeing me pretend skate towards them...

Bahahahahahahaaha XD Would that be better or worse than
