Winter Running

Ed prochak said:

Gloves and/or mittens make a BIG difference, second only to head covering (hat, hood, headband,
or scarf). But unlike andy, I keep the same arm motion unless the wind forces me to put them in
my pockets occasionally.

I usually try to maintain same arm movement regardless of weather I'm running in. It's helpful for
balance all the time and helps propel a person into strong winds (40-50 mph). Just beware of
aggressive arm swing if on snow shoes going up a hill in strong wind 😉

Before I had figured out a lot of form issues and winter gear, I tended to hold arms tight. But once
I gained confidence in gear and me, I was able to relax and use a normal arm motion. The hand weight
drills we did in cross-training class really helped me to loosen up. Relaxing arms and hands allows
blood to flow more readily. Clenching is wasted energy and impedes blood flow.

To winter running and a good spring running season!

Amen! It's been so nice having winter this year - clear blue skies, at least when it's not
snowing 🙂

As for NE I was running in Chatham on Cape Cod over Thanksgiving and enjoyed some beautiful crisp
mornings.

You were only two hours from me, and you didn't let me know? I would've driven out to "P-Town" to
meet you. I do recall that day, we thought it was a total eclipse of the sun, but we were just in
the shadow of Dougs huge head.

Only about 6 weeks into my running routine and I go early morning (around
5:15 am) and I pull a pair of *socks* out of my drawer to use as mitts.

Of course he also runs with his underwear over his head, so take that into consideration.

The fact that I was that close gives me indigestion.

<Yawn> Look, if you don't come up with better material soon, I'm going to throw another rotten egg.
Look, I posted those jpegs-- surely, you can come up with some good material based on those.

PLEASE! I could NEVER invent anything as goofy or as offensive as those pics. I printed them out,
one lines my toilet bowl so I can [censored] in your mouth 2 or 3x a day. And the other is our new
dartboard. Thanks again for those pics, it only proves the old saying that truth is stranger than
anything I could possibly make up.

Just something to think about. Eskimos until recently were all born naked in igloos. Really.

Oh wow! I thought they were born in hospitals!

No no no... most of us in Canada are still born 'naked in igloos'. One of those little tradeoffs
for having public healthcare.

hahahahaha 🙂 *claps hands*

A whole different issue is that loose wind breaker pants could deprieve a runner of the
opportunity to flaunt his muscles, wreck his self-image or interfere with the skin- tight feel
which is the very reason why some runners prefer tights over "cumbersome" pants:-)

I my case I need to hide the goods to keep from being grabbed and molested in the woods. I rest more
ways than one during the winter months. 😉

Good luck in flaunting the family jewels!! 🙂

Stop "swallowing", the extra protein doesn't do you justice. Of course visiting P-town without
swallowing is like going to Burger King and not getting a burger.

Not bad ... I give it a B- for effort and a C- for content -- still, I was hoping you could do
better. Hate to do this, because I rarely use killfiles, but I'm going to have to killfile you (and
fear not, young troll -- I can cover your aliases with one entry.)

Cheers,

Is that your excuse for hanging out in the bushes with your shorts around your ankles?

Dougs been arrested for that, so listen to him.

So after I amaze and surprise you, you run away? Typical of a little 90lber, I bet you had plenty of
experience in grade school running from the bullies and the lil' girlies that used to beat you up.
Block me? HAHAHAHAHAHA Dream on. Watch my next post, and we'll see how well you did.
