i know i have no room to complain as it is... but lord was it cold out. a big 36 degrees. i know, that's in the positives and tropical compared to all the negative temperatures and snowstorms elsewhere, but i was cold. i don't see how you people do it. my speech was slurred after my run, and i guess j thought i had a stroke or something. i don't think i did, but who knows. there was a return of the numbness so i'm a little concerned about that. last time it happened i said i was gonna go to the chiropractor but well i never made it (just never went). i will definitely be going when i'm home for christmas, that's for sure. i'm assuming/hoping it's related to pinched nerves and/or limited blood supply like when your foot falls asleep but i avoided bio class like the plague so that's complete speculation. my hrm was also a little funky and shot up to 170+ within the first two minutes (was not going that hard) and then i saw 201 a few minutes later (still not going hard), so i don't know what's up with that.
anyway a pretty un-exciting 5 mile run tonight with a mostly-numb left arm and a teensy bit of numbness creeping into the right. i just checked my schedule for tomorrow, knowing it's a tempo day, and was pretty relieved to see i only had 6 miles. guess i'm ready for a little break from all this running.
pm run: 5.4 miles, 50:32 (9:21 avg pace), avg/max hr (147/201)

I know how you feel. I would have balked at 36 degrees back in Florida, but after running in the -12 wind chill yesterday, 36 degrees sounds pretty good.
ReplyDeletedid you run right after drinking a coffee or red bull or something?! :) hope the numbness is nothing to be concerned about... you're so close to your Goofy now.
ReplyDeletethat numbness sounds really strange - definitely get it checked out!
ReplyDeleteanyone who can run in sub 40-degree weather is a hero in my book
ReplyDeletep.s. you should check with goDaddy - typing your URL without the www doesn't go to your blog :(
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, that bizarre heart rate readings have been my battery getting low (usually in the strap not necessarily the watch). On rare occasions this also happens when going by some hospitals or other places with interference but those are really rare.
ReplyDeleteDehydrated? Overtrained?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely go see the chiro at least for the arm thing.
36 degrees would be great right now. We're in the teens - yuck!
I would go get checked out for the numbness. Strange how it appears during some runs and not others. Have you noticed any pattern with it?
