Decembrrrrr!

Hee hee ... Sounds like more of us are trying to adapt to heat, than living up to the thread title! Well since I accidentally posted Saturday's race to the November thread, I'll chime in. I'm officially starting my training plan in a week, so right now I'm just trying to adapt to the heat and claw some fitness back from the long layoff. My foot is still hanging in there, which of course is great, but it's just one more example of how clueless doctors are. If he'd listened to my history and told me a month ago to roll my calf out super deep, like I finally figured out for myself, I'd have been back in business without losing so much fitness.

Anyway I did 7.5 today and omg am I out of shape, but hopefully it will come back quick. It's always hard this time of year trying to figure out my sodium intake, when I'm suddenly living and running in heat and humidity with no acclimation. Right now the salt shaker and the tubes of Nuun U Naturals are my two best friends.

I got out twice last week, neither run that noteworthy, just putting one foot in front of the other. It is supposed to snow today so I am hoping to get out for a snow run ( which I love) later today. I went down hard on my mt bike on Sunday and I am pretty sore, no joints just all soft tissue, so hopefully that will not be an issue.

We got out for an hour run yesterday on the rail trail. It was nice, big fat flakes coming down, nice and quiet.

Embrace winter!

We've gotten a couple of slugs of snow over the last week so the trails are now officially awesome. A little packed, not icy, and squeaky-cold with good traction. I've been going out after work (with a headlamp since the damn sun sets at 5) and have had the trails to myself. The cold is forcing the megafauna down into the canyon so I've been seeing lots of deer, elk, and coyotes. I think a moose is in my future.

Off to Vegas for a work conference for the rest of the week. Not sure if I will get to run while there

I am having some dental surgery today and I am not supposed to exercise for a week. Not sure if I can do that. But what scares me, is that I am pissed I won't be able to run this weekend!
Is this a sign?
I already did a hard interval workout on the trainer and yoga. I will give myself until Saturday for real rest and I may have to walk on the TM. Snow is predicted for Saturday and there is a good chance there may be some nordic skiing around on Sunday. I probably shouldn't do that, but...

Crankin isn't skiing isn't exercising, it's playing in the snow, right?

It was the treadmill for me today as it was 20F outside. OK, that's not all that cold but I just couldn't face it. Only did 3 miles and it was kinda freaky that I was the only one in the room when I started at 6:15 am. Folks started flowing in around 6:30. It'll likely be the treadmill again tomorrow as we have a low of about 12 or so predicted. Or it may be an extra cup of coffee in my pjs on the couch...

Ha, ha. I am back from the surgery and my sentence is only 3 days, not a week. So I am good to go on Sunday.
Yeah, it's going to be 12 here tomorrow morning, too. Happy for a rest day or two.
