Muscle Soreness and Managing Expectations

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise 0 comments tags: DOMS, execution, happy running place, managing expectations, movement, muscle soreness, running, taking action
Brrrr… It was cold outside this past weekend! I’m not complaining. It’s January in Ohio and I get to run outside without overheating, so I’m a very happy human. Happy because I think I’ve finally figured out how to dress properly for outdoor exercise. Maybe. (Ha! Who am I kidding? I usually overdress and I only got it right this weekend because it was sooooo cold. 😂)

Tapping into Pure Joy

Gravity-assisted sprints (e.g., running down hills as fast as possible) are the best. There was a time when I used to fly down hills on Rollerblades, semi-protected by the helmet, wrist guards, and knee/elbow pads. My sister and I would blade through the Metroparks, taking the flat curves easily and being careful to stay upright when navigating down hills.

A Change in Pace

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise 0 comments tags: getting started, happy running place, running, slowing down
This morning, I had the honor of serving as the 11-minute-mile pace group leader for a 4-mile kick-off run.  Sometimes, it’s awesome to run fast and set a new record, but I have been taking it easy on the running front since my latest half marathon this past October.  A run here, a run there – just for fun and to spend time with friends.  In any case, I knew I’d be asking for trouble if I tried to pace the 9-minute-mile group, even though that’s pretty close to my regular running speed, so I asked for the 10 or 11 spot.   The course was hilly, and the morning was a little rainy.  No complaints here – it’s January in Cleveland, and at 48 degrees, it was beautiful running weather.
