So... I'm pretty much new to the world of running and am in need of some advice from you less than novice folk :)
I've been running for a couple of months now (trying to get ready for a 10k in April) and I've slightly improved, until tonight.
Mind you, I live in upstate NY and it's freaking freezing here. So I go out tonight and 2.5 miles into it BOOM! my legs feel like wood and eventually just stop working. They felt bruised and sore instantly. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? I run every other day and always at the same time... can it be the decline in temp?
I suck at running to begin with so this defeat does not make me happy :(
HELP!
PS- This is my first post and I'm SUPER excited to talk to you fellow running nerds :)
