A Trio of Oddities

I went out for another short easy run this morning.  Duncan dropped me off at the Pigeon Tower car park on his way to work and I ran out towards Sheephouse Lane, down Sheephouse Lane into Rivington Green, along past the lower barn and down the side of the road to the school then up past the llamas and home.

It wasn't a great run - but not because of my hip...

At first it was fine, albeit freezing cold (note to self, Duncan is a LIAR, do not believe him when he tells you it is warm outside - my hands were numb for the entire run!).  As I got about a mile from home though, I came over really funny.  My legs felt a bit tingly.  It's hard to describe really, they weren't heavy and tired, but felt a bit numb.  Maybe it was the cold, although I only actually felt cold in my hands?  I don't know, but it wasn't a very nice feeling.

Further along, another weird thing happened, this time in my ears.  Again, it's really hard to describe but the only way I can try to describe it is that my hearing was like a strobe light, on, off, on, off, on, off...  This lasted for about two minutes and then was fine.

The third bizarre thing happened when I got home.  I bent down to take off my shoes and nearly passed out.  I went all hot and sicky and had to sit completely down on the hall floor, where Ruby started licking my face! Nice.

Feel fine now though so I'm not sure what that was all about.  I wasn't doing a hard effort, much the opposite really, I was just taking it easy.  I ate before I went out too, albeit just a stick of soft eating liquorice, and was well hydrated.

Ah well, I don't think it was anything to worry about so onwards and upwards!

Despite recent events, I'm actually feeling pretty optimistic and can't wait to get my nice strong glutes and really get stuck into some decent training!

Total distance - 3 miles
