Hello Runners!
Sorry for the late post...I was listening to the Fighting Sioux kick the Gopher's tails tonight.
Please come prepared to run outside tomorrow. The forecasts are showing mostly sunny with highs between 9 and 13 degrees for tomorrow. The wind chills will make it quite a bit cooler, but we can handle it.
The routes are listed in the previous post. Check them out and get yourself mentally prepared for the trek.
A few important things to remember:
When it's icy, be on the defensive. It's easier for you to stop than it is for a vehicle. Slow down and look both ways at every intersection and, if you can, avoid wearing ear phones or iPods so you can hear vehicles approaching, sliding on ice, etc.
Make sure to fuel up with a small breakfast at least an hour before the run tomorrow. Running in the cold takes a lot of energy, so eating before is important. Stay hydrated, too. It's easy to get dehydrated in the winter because we don't "feel" as thirsty as on hot days. Make a conscious effort to drink water.
I will go over this tomorrow, but I think it's important to mention twice: Stretching is SO important to your training routine! If you think you're stretching too much, you're probably just about right. Take the time to do this, and you'll be preventing injuries like you wouldn't believe. The last thing any of us want is for a silly injury to put us on the sidelines. Take the time to stretch and you'll never regret it.
See you all tomorrow morning!
Happy Running
