A frost advisory means that frost is possible. Sensitive outdoor

Week 7 - Partial review

3 runs so far this week.  4-7-4.  The first 2 were great- gorgeous cool weather all week, got in the zone and felt strong.  I’ve been stretching diligently after each run and icing my knees most nights and have been less sore each day.  Think I was just tired and distracted for my 4 miler last night. I couldn’t focus and the whole run was tough work.  I’m so glad today is a scheduled rest day.  I feel unsettled, stressed and weepy, not myself…  I think I might simply be overtired. 

This weekend I have 7 and then 14.  The weather is supposed to be clear and cool again- I’m loving it!  I’ve been a little chilly at the start of each run but fine after the first 5 minutes or so except for my hands.  I’ve taken to wearing gloves.   I’m sure I look ridiculous running along in my shorty-shorts, tank and candy cane striped red gloves…  Anyone else have this problem?
