| Ready to Brave Cold! |
I decided to keep eating before running. I need to have an iron stomach in Leadville. I ate 2 bananas, two bowls of cereal, and a shake. The weather is cold again. 24F yesterday, and 18F (feels like 6?). Reworked my balaclava into a thick neck scarf and wore my hat my mom made..My first song is "Mannish Blues [I'm a man]"...Modest Mouse gets me into the freezing weather. I have shorts, tights, and thick pants that I first wore during 9/11. I didn't hear about it til a few days later. The weather doesn't feel as cold as yesterday, but I was only out there half as long. My camelbak froze again..this time about 1 mile in. No signs of wild life, so maybe it was too cold for animals to get out. I ran along the road to simulate going to the park. I did ice my legs for 25 mins. beforehand, so maybe that's why it didn't seem as cold. I did my arm exercises while icing my legs. This saves me 20 or 30 mins. during my day. Ultramarathon training takes up alot of time, so every little bit helps. I ran in and out of drainage ditches to get that elevation. I wish I had the mountains at my disposal, but there is something nice about the country straight aways with just you and the snow. I saw maybe 5 cars the whole run.
Arm exercise (while standing in ice bath for 25 mins...with 4 2L and 1 Gallon)
7.5 lb. swing: 5 min. and then 1 min.
Overhead swing (5 lb. kettleball): 20 X 4 sets
7.5 lb. curls: 40, 50, 30, 30
Dumbbell Overhead Tricep Press (20lbs.): 15 X 4 sets
Use roller on legs
