First seasonal running in tights, knit cap & gloves was this week. I'm making an effort in running
w/elbows adjacent to ribs, fist balled (for warmpth) close to my chest and having as little movement
as possible w/my fist. As much as possible I'm trying to keep my fist movement-free...all in efforts
of having available energy on by lower body. Spring, Summer, Fall running I normally like to dangle
my hands on the sides of my hips free (but constrained) and open.
Tomorrow I'll be running in the low to mid 30s (F). Winter running can be lonely on the routine
jogging/running paths/roads. It's dark early....it's cold. I see a very small fraction of the normal
amount of runners I'd normally see on a July night at the same time as I do now. 20's, 10's and
single digits will be here soon. People think I'm crazy....little do they know I know you runners
that live in Canada and the like that somehow manage this passion of ours when it's well in the the
negatives. One of the nastiest things I've seen in life was at the end of the 10 Mile race I did
last year at degrees and look at the faces of runners with frozen saliva on the side of their mouths
and nostrils. Yuk!
One thing though that keeps me going in the Winter is knowing it's an opportunity to gain ground in
a racing context in your local circuit as a lot of people take Winter off. I suppose the ng Teresa's
in Arizona can't relate to Winter running. Just reflecting on Winter running as I felt it for the
first time today in all its bluster. Dot should be able to chime in well in Winter running being the
Alaskan that he is.
