Lämmchen's Workout Thread

I struggle with overheating, although one advantage of running is that people expect sweat. It's a bit odd when I'm walking in the winter and still sweating.

You have a great thyroid then? Or an overactive one?

No idea, I just sweat easily when I'm exercising. I suspect it's down to being reluctant to buy technical clothing because it's expensive and I don't want to spend that kind of money until my body shape is more stable - the combination of tummy getting smaller and muscles getting bigger potentially means things that used to fit well don't fit so well any more.

Yesterday's workout was grim. I planned to run 8 miles but after about 4 was really struggling - my legs didn't want to go and my heart and lungs didn't want to go. I struggled through until 7.5 miles and then decided to just walk the rest.

We hiked 4 miles yesterday and it was a nice walk with good weather. Came across people walking their doggies and that's always fun.

Two walks yesterday, one cut short by rain. So for the second one I took a shorter route to pick up where I left off and did the rest of my regular loop. The end result was more like 7 miles of walking all in, some of it in the rain and much of it in the twilight.

Today's suggested workout is a recovery run but the forecast is for storms and I had a really bad night - it was too warm and I woke up needing to lose a bunch of covers and then took a while to cool down. I'll probably end up doing another walk.
