What was with last week? After reading about a smattering of running injuries discussed on running blogs, and finishing a 2-hour run on Sunday that felt pretty terrible starting after the first five minutes, we were wondering which planetary configuration was causing all this. (Of course, it’s nothing we did!)
Saw a running friend sitting on a park bench in Central Park yesterday. A veteran of last week’s Boston Marathon of Driving Wind and Rain. Gave us a rueful look, and just said ‘Boston Marathon’, which pretty much explained why she was convalescing. Her look said ‘Turn Away! Turn Away!’, a command we silently obeyed. Anyway, we wonder if her shoes have dried out yet…
And everybody seemed to be having muscle blow-outs, or joint problems… and maybe the welcome change in temperature in the northeast, going up 40 degrees in 2 days didn’t help. All the rain had at least kept the tree pollen down, so allergy sufferers can now celebrate the tradeoff between wet and dry weather.
Well, it has to get better, and now that spring seems to be here, we can only hope. One bit of advice:
Take it easy, people!
