i know i have no room to complain as it is... but lord was it cold out. a big 36 degrees. i know, that's in the positives and tropical compared to all the negative temperatures and snowstorms elsewhere, but i was cold. i don't see how you people do it. my speech was slurred after my run, and i guess j thought i had a stroke or something. i don't think i did, but who knows. there was a return of the numbness so i'm a little concerned about that. last time it happened i said i was gonna go to the chiropractor but well i never made it (just never went). i will definitely be going when i'm home for christmas, that's for sure. i'm assuming/hoping it's related to pinched nerves and/or limited blood supply like when your foot falls asleep but i avoided bio class like the plague so that's complete speculation. my hrm was also a little funky and shot up to 170+ within the first two minutes (was not going that hard) and then i saw 201 a few minutes later (still not going hard), so i don't know what's up with that.
anyway a pretty un-exciting 5 mile run tonight with a mostly-numb left arm and a teensy bit of numbness creeping into the right. i just checked my schedule for tomorrow, knowing it's a tempo day, and was pretty relieved to see i only had 6 miles. guess i'm ready for a little break from all this running.
pm run: 5.4 miles, 50:32 (9:21 avg pace), avg/max hr (147/201)
