Unless you’re old and are coming out of a decade of sedentary, desk-job life! 🤣
I tell you what; That 20 minutes of static stretching and mobility warmups are so the first mile is even possible!
I’d love to be able to just step out and go again.
I love being out in the rain!
I just wish my shoes & socks wouldn’t turn into waterlogged lead weights when they’re wet. I really need to look for some rainy-day run solutions.
Confession: I overtrained as a beginner by continuing to run after my long run was already at new record mileage. Planned increase was from 6 to 7 miles and my calf suddenly felt super tight somewhere between mile 8 & 9 because I got it in my head that 7 was “close enough” to ten miles.
Uncompliant: looks like my bicycling cross training gets to be the primary for the winter while I give my calf 6-8 weeks to recover. Thankfully, it was a minor overuse strain that I don’t feel unless I try to run more than 1 mile…
Complaint: I really really just want to run more distance, more often and in less time. My body doesn’t share the enthusiasm.
I’ll check it out! Some of the paths/trails I run are more of a puddle/washout problem, so that sounds perfect.
I’m also not above taping some saran wrap around my ankle to keep water from running into the shoe… If it’s raining, there won’t be witnesses to my ridiculousness!
