Last group run - so painful

I have had a big problem with waking up on time. First I overkill's and missed a run around Halloween. Then a couple weeks a go I woke up too early and ran by myself in San Francisco. Then, this last Saturday I went to bed early and woke up at 7:00. Why is this bad? Because our run is supposed to start at 7:00. Crap. I raced to get ready. The morning was soooooooo cold. Like 40 F. I know for some of you in the Midwest its nothing. All I can say is, bummer for you. >grin<

It was only 8 miles but I hurt so much. my muscles never had a chance to warm up and get used to be being out of bed. rather than my pain going away, it got worse and worse. My brother peter was telling me about my cousin Howard who swore by knee warmers when he used to ride competitively. I will keep those in mind for my next marathon. or triathlon. hmmmm.

I think that is what I will do for the spring. a triathlon. it would be good to get training from swimming. I haven't done that much since I was 9.
