RUN TRAILS 3.1 miles in 36 mins. I was going to rest the weekend, planned maybe an indoor spin or a swim depending on how much work I could get done. But then SO offered a ride in Rockwoods, each at our own paces. WHOOOP!
It was 36F. Yeah, I wasn't supposed to be doing this due the cold. Seriously, does that apply to ME? No. lol.
By the time I got back to the house from work, I'd decided a run would be better. I have warmer run clothes, so if the cold is the issue this would prevent it. Oh the things I tell myself...
SO layered up and took off, and I started with a short walk. Short. It didn't last long. Soon enough I saw gravel and my inner voice went "gravel..." and well that was that. I was jumping up to hit tree branches, jumping on rocks, and smiling. Ooooohhh I'M BACK!!!
Last time I was hear was hiking with SO, back in ... May? Nope June 10th. LOL. I passed landmarks and couldn't help but smile. Like the base of the stairs...Who woulda thunk? Not me. :X
I certainly didn't stick to my HR goals on purpose. My excuse was that I needed to watch the time so I could be back at the car on time. I mostly walked the uphills, ran the flats, and bombed the downhills. YAY! My new Cascadias need more of this, they feel great and they want more trail too.
My HR was high, but it really does look like cadence lock. Oh the things I tell myself. But no, seriously, it does.
No pains afterwards. From running anyways :X
However the next day, Dec 31st as in today, I've had a few moments of throat tightness or soreness (wouldn't go so far as "pain") and now that I'm aware of it I'm focusing on chest signals too. Who's to say my rib cage isn't tired from running? So I watch. And get internal-mental defensive when I feel it. And a bit scared. I'll admit.
