After a few days of snow and freezing rain I finally got out for a semi long run today. I needed it so badly. Its amazing what a good run can do for your mental health. I don't mind running in the snow ( if your going to be a winter runner here in NS you have to get used to snow running) but I cant do freezing rain. It was down right dangerous the past few days.
The first 5k I felt like I was dragging my legs were heavy. The first few km are always the worst. Once I hit 7-8km I felt so much better. I ran 7k in the side street (which were very messy and slush covered) and then the last few km on the main road for a total of 15km. I only saw 2 other runners running together my whole run. My I pod died the last 5k ughh running without music is horrible I can hear myself breathing and my feet hitting the ground. its the worst.
Jackson says HAPPY HUMP DAY!
Great job on your run! My iPod said "low battery" when I turned it on tonight and I ran the entire 10 miles in fear that it would die on me....but it didnt' :)
ReplyDeleteI feel so much better after I get a run in as well. Something about the exhaustion makes me feel so happy. :D
Thanks :) I feel so much slower without music and time goes by slower. Hopefully the weather coroperates and we don't miss any more runs :D
DeleteI am with you on the spring weather...what will it be like to run in shorts? I really can't remember!!!
