North Meck Trail
This morning the temperatures were in the teens, but the wind was not blowing and the sunny was shining.
I made it to the North Meck Park about 7:30 AM.
It took about a mile and half before I felt warm. Always, the first 15 minutes of running are rough on cold days. Usually my hands are the toughest to keep warm, so today I opted for mittens and some of those little hand warmers.
I was able to run pretty much the entire first loop pain free. Then, during the 2nd loop I started to feel some real stinging on the outside of my knee and down my leg. At this point, I was unconsciously letting my body compensate for it because my hamstring started to sting as did my calf.
While running was painful, I didn't have to stop. To manage the pain, I just tried stay relaxed and let my body run normally.
Patients is not something that I have in huge quantities. But I will need to be patient if I want to get over this injury quickly. And, might I say "quickly" is a relative term.
