Being Saturday, no need to get up early, righto? Right on. So, I go out at about the time ice is coating everything in sight, but it doesn't last. Too warm, I suppose, but not so warm as to eliminate the solid wet mush at every street crossing. Not that I'm complaining, just that at less than halfway I thoroughly soaked my right shoe, so mush, mush, mush. Oh, and BTW, I'm high tech online now, as I took my new Galaxy 5 for the run with me. I see that I should have recorded the details, as it doesn't save everything; whatever, here we go:
Distance: 5+ Miles
Course: "The Leg", Div & 48th / 48th & Eastern / Eastern & 44th / 44th & Kalamazoo
Conditions: 1+ inch standing slush at road crossings, slightly crusty snow on sidewalks
Dress: The "heavy"
The overall run was good, nice and solid in spite of the crabby, crampy beginning. Funny thing on return was that I showered and took a nap. When I got up, I checked my heart rate, and it was still around 100. Not good. I had a large glass of water and lounged for a half hour, and my heart rate came down to 75bpm, where it should be. Was I that dehydrated? Scary. Again, I am too out of shape to push the rate too far. Coming down from 44th and Kalamazoo with theme music from Requiem for a Dream on the pod, I was feeling pretty mighty, so I couldn't help myself. When the truck threw the dark slush at me, I didn't even flinch. Like a Boss.
