The fool’s run
July 27th, 2007 |
All this talk about cyclocross (obviously designed to inflame) has me thinking about running. Specifically, that I haven’t been (I only run Fall/Winter) and that I want to start soon. As soon as the humidity’s gone.
The way this always works is I strap on the running shoes, start jogging slowly but feel great. I have cardio fitness. I run faster. I run far. Somewhere around a couple miles I notice that my thighs are feeling sore as I run. Guess it’s a little late to back off now, eh? Now I know I’m going to be sore for 4 days or so. Next time I ride I’ll feel like junk, too.
The first run is called the fool’s run. Fit from cycling, run too hard, pay big time.
Running and riding don’t mix, right? WRONG!!!!!! I just need to tough it out and acclimate. CYCLOCROSS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
