According to the weather office, Sunday is having a low of -28 degrees. I’m not sure I want to go running tomorrow. Technically I’m supposed to be running 32km. (Actually it’s 33km, but the Running Room has been lying about the distance. According to their own studies it’s 33km.) I remember the last time I ran a long distance in weather that cold. It was last February for the Hypothermic Half-marathon. The one where I hurt my knee. That injury kept me from doing a long run for over half a year. I’ve heard theories that it was because it was so cold and a long distance that did it in. But it also could be that I tried to do the IT band stretch for the first time and that gummed up my knee which wasn’t used to it. A similar thing happened to a runner friend recently.
Is it worth doing the run and possibly injuring myself? I’m not actually training for a race. Plus I’ve already shown that I can run 33km.
Decision, decisions.
Other than that, I spent the day at a New Year party. It was a small affair at one of my D&D player’s house. We just talked a lot and ate party snacks. I tried to avoid talking about D&D because the host’s fiance doesn’t play. There is only so much nerdage that one can put up with.
