COLD! IT IS WINTERY NOW AND IT IS COLD! My lips are now in the begging stages of chapped-ness, my eyes are dry and trying to leak all over my face, my nose is running and my cheeks are numb. Wind + cold = NOT COOL.
And you know what else isn't cool? Waking up with a mysterious pain from your hip to your knee to your ankle, having it go away while you run, only to have a right ankle tendon thing spasm 4 times during your run. And to have various parts of your body just HURT. And then have your knee get all hurty and weird feeling so that you have to take the elevator to your floor of your dorm.
Today was not a fun run. We'll see how the 9 miler tomorrow goes. :/

Day Fifteen
Miles: 4
Time: 33:27
Pace: 8:22
Splits: 7:59, 8:18, 8:41, 8:30
(Note: The third split is so slow because I had to run over icy spots twice, and stopped for 10 seconds to tighten my shoe so my leg wasn't so hurty.)
COLD WEATHER ARRRRRGH!!!!!! I never know what to wear! It is 30 degrees. So I wear a thin, but insulating running jacket over a running t-shirt and a sports bra. Shorts over leggings. My ankle-height socks. SHOES. A hat. Gloves. The gloves come off around 1.2 miles. My arms start to get hot around 2 miles. I get home and I'm sweaty and gross because it is hot inside. I don't want to go out in just, like, a t-shirt and shorts/leggings (my legs were fine the whole run) because then I just look crazy. But my hands and arms get so freaking HOT! And they felt really heavy the last couple of runs, too. I've been taking vitamins, maybe I need to add something else in. :(
But I DO need to start eating more bananers (and probably drinking more water). My left quad/knee and my right ankle tendon thing were really tight the whole run, except the first mile. It is really, really annoying. I am glad that I've been running with my dad the last couple days or else I would chicken out of my 4 milers and run 3 instead. :( 4 mile runs just suck necause that is when my random aches peak, and then they go away after 4-5 miles. Yuck.
8 miles tomorrow; I get to pick the route. Excitement!

Day Fourteen
Miles: 4
Time: 32:33
Pace: 8:20
Splits: 7:57, 8:20, 8:30, 8:32
COLD. THIS RUN WAS FREEZING COLD. (And this update is seriously late.) Went out with my dad around 8 in the morning... to fresh 20-30 mph winds and a regular air temp of 35 degrees. COLD COLD COLD.
Other than that, it was ok. My knee started to get tight, and a tendon in my right shin/ankle was tight, but neither stayed long or hurt very bad. It was a really hilly run the middle 2 miles. The last one, my knee was still kind of tight, so I wasn't too motivated. And most of it was against the wind, so I was frozen. :P
But Thanksgiving was great. We headed to my grandparents' and had a delicious feast. It was well worth the running effort in the morning.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!
**PS: Does anyone know why I would be getting weird muscle spasm-y things in the tendon coming up from my right ankle to about halfway up my shin/calf? It's very uncomfortable and hurts for about 2-5 seconds, then goes away. What is UP!?
