It is so nice to be getting away from the 90 degree heat, but even nicer to be leaving behind the humidity. Now that we are getting into cooler temperatures, that summer training will start to shine through. We (the guys / ladies I have the pleasure of chasing) got in some pretty good runs on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings for the better part of the summer. But oh how I suffered. It is the humidity that gets me - sluggish, dripping wet, dragging a boulder behind me runs. But I persevered. With a cooler morning this past Saturday - the boulder at least, felt like it was lifted. The only problem now is SORE legs. I got it in my soleus muscles - ouch. So, with the cooler weather and quicker runs, do your tired legs some good and use your stick or foam roller on them to help flush out the garbage - they will thank you for the attention. Also, some of the best relief for soreness is another easy run. Seemingly counter intuitive, it too is good therapy to flush out the crap. I'm tempted to run in the mornings it is so nice and cool, but I know it will never happen. I'll keep to my AM Saturdays and evenings all other days.
Run fast!
