Wow! Great runs you all are doing...despite the weather.
It was POURING down rain this AM when my alarm went off at 5:30. Took that as a sign to finish taking my "break" from running this week. Weather to improve (less rain chance and cooler weather) this weekend...so I'll be plenty rested by then.
A bit sore in places (back muscles and buttocks) from training session yesterday. So need to work that out before tomorrow's run.

About an hour run/walk on the local trails today. Not the best conditions on these trails for running--lots of ice patches/uneven hard snow. It wasn't much of a run but it was still nice.
For the night road rides we ride close to home. Off road we ride all over, NY, NJ, PA, down by you, White Clay, Fair Hill.Quote:

Heading out this morning to try and beat the storm for a ride.
short 2.5 trail run with DH this morning before the snow comes. He's a natural and fast. I'm very happy he likes running! But I don't see myself running with him... he goes out and I say, "Bye!" LOL.
Snow!! Woohoo! When I saw the forecast for this morning, I was so looking forward to my run-- 32 F, with an inch or 2 of snow on the ground. Just what I like!
But the reality kinda stunk. It wasn't an inch or 2 of snow, but rather slush on the ground. Yuck. My feet were soaked before long (thank goodness for wool socks).... I ended up turning around before long, and only did 4 miles. And it was the first time since October that I averaged a pace slower than 10 min/mile.
At least it wasn't ice (we get a lot of that here in KY). And at least it wasn't a blizzard. And I'd rather deal with 2 inches of snow than a humid 95 F in August...
Hope y'all's Saturday runs went better than mine!
Intervals for me, 9 x 1 minute. Giving the short intervals another try.
Temperature and humidity were both way down today, beautiful day for running!
We tried to get out to mt bike, but the roads were bad at 6;30 am already. So we aborted tthat mission and did a trail run instead. We probably had about 3-4 inches of really soft powder on the trails. Now we have a foot and it is still coming down.
After the run, I can home and spiked a fever, and I am not feeling so great. :eek:
I have a brand new bike sitting in the garage waiting to be ridden, oh well, at least she got out of the garage this morning!
Just got back from 5.67 miles with my 2 best girlfriends. Now we are cleaning up and getting ready for dinner and cocktails. Life is GOOD! :D
[QUOTE=OakLeaf;482778]Persistent, or recurring? If it feels like it never really leaves, your calf might be full of trigger points... mine go that wayQUOTE]
I guess it was recurring but now it is persistent. I originally got the cramp several months ago and it would come and go but now I have had it non-stop since I ran on Monday. Oddly when I am just running at a steady pace it is fine but when I sprint or walk it hurts. I think I will try increasing my calcium and magnesium. Thank you for taking the time to help I really appreciate it.
Yesterday I ran a hot 5 miles. I am always amazed at the difference in my hot day/cold day heart rate. Hot days just make my heart beat so much faster. Tomorrow an easy 30min and I am right on target for my half training plan.
