Cold Run Done Right...almost

So I made it outside for a run yesterday! 3.02 miles at a 12:02 min/mile pace.

It was around 25 degrees (feels like 16 I think). I wore the following:

• Sports Bra (obv)
• Short sleeve tech shirt
• Long sleeve tech shirt
• Scarf
• Headband
• Coat with Fleece on the inside, wind resistance on the outside with a hood
• Gloves
• My new tights
• A pair of shorts
• Thick socks (that went up to my ankle and were tucked into my pants)
• Tennis Shoes

So my top half, my head, my hands and my feet were all warm and toasty. I was feeling good. But my legs were cold! I should have worn another pair of tights or my wind resistant pants on top of my tights. I liked my tights a lot and in forty degree weather I'm sure they'd be great! But in 25 degree weather they were just not cutting it. I needed another layer bad.

When I got home I got in the shower and afterwards I got my usual running chills, but my legs were bad cold. Like sweat pants and two blankets weren't enough. So after dinner I got in the bath tub to warm up. That helped but then I felt too warm. I got a bad headache and felt nauseous. Then I proceeded to fall asleep on the couch at 7:30. 7:30!! That's not right.

Now I don't know if the reason for my after run behavior, but I'm assuming in some way I overdid it. I'm thinking of taking today off to recover. Maybe do a little Tara Stiles Yoga? I'll keep you posted.
