Got home late from work - it was cold all day today again.  Getting ready to run, my bed actually looked more inviting for a long winter's nap than going out in the cold after a long day.  Dressed with two top layers, a long-sleeve Nike sphere shirt base layer and the top layer a hooded sweatshirt, a knit hat under the hood, running shorts and running tights, knit gloves.  Ran slow miles - felt a little sluggish.  7pm.  Temp outside is 30 degrees but starting out, it felt colder than last night even though the temp was warmer.  Right quad feels like I pulled a muscle or somthing.  Probably from ride-run-ride on Tuesday.  Stretched really well afterward.

Good job getting out even though you didn't feel like it. That is when you get the most psychological benefit. Sounds like you were over-dressed for the temperature, but that's coming from cold country. Hope your quad is nothing serious.

Thanks, Michelle. Yes, I felt a little overdressed once I got out there. It was a little windy, and I was glad to have the hood, but I did get a little warm toward the end. The quad feels better today, and I'm going to make commitment to stretching more consistantly after running!
