I was out on my saturday run and the roads had just been salted. Like Bare Lee says it burns like ..... After a shower and about 4 hours it was back to normal. Hate salt!!
I knew my lead would be short lived YOW...
That is great advice. Keep the salt for the steaks.I HATE salt, unless it's sprinkled lightly on my steak. For anyone who's new to winter running, avoid salt like the plague. It burns.
Rick - it's all about getting the weather to co-operate. You're almost 200 km ahead of last years pace. Besides, you moved pass the WhineApeggers. I should show more respect for Bob and dutchie, but hey a little rivalry goes a long way. I think you're doing fantastic this year. Have you noticed that Sneffe is sneaking up.
the WhineApeggers.
Does that explain Neil Young's voice???????
4 kilometers in -5C today, fascinating how my feet almost got stuck on the ice. Almost as if I had to pry them loose. But running in itself wasn't a big problem. Of course, when I got warmer I realized I had a blood blister, but that only made me prouder. I survived -5 (-6 just half an hour earlier, so it must have been -6 in the shades, perhaps even colder), I bragged to a fellow runner about how rough asphalt partly covered with old ice really is no big deal when you just listen to your own body (or something like that, I was too occupied with where to put my feet to monitor what came out of my big mouth), and even the cold, polluted air of a wintery Prague didn't crush my lungs -- or anything else. Except for the blood blister. But that doesn't count.
Nasty windchills are suppose to be hitting us for the next few days, somewhere in the mid -30's. Hmm, maybe a nice clear sidewalk run tonight.
I think the Winnipeg folk festival established that reputation a long time ago; within minutes of setting up our tent an enterprising young man came by with bags of mushrooms. Now I understand how you survive your long winters.Bob, you do realize that everyone is going to wonder about the sanity us Winnipeggers now with posts like that?
