Monday 9 Dec: After a 2 day rest over the weekend which was the first time since mid-september since I have done that, I felt recharged, amped, and ready to run. After wearing too much clothing Friday, I went with too little today. I had frost nip on my forearms and other parts that took a few hours to go away and my MAF pace seemed to be slower than normal and I ended up with sore quads after the excruciatingly slow run. Probably half as long out there in the weather may have been wise but maybe it will toughen me that much for a race or mountaineering or maybe even fatherhood. I also ended up getting a stomach ache during the run and I wondered if it was from the cold exposure and lack of layers needed. My stomach ended up hurting into the evening and I went to sleep on the couch at around 7:30, moved upstairs around 10 and slept until 5:30 AM.
