Tweaky Quad
Somewhere, in the deep of the winter that seems just about over, I pulled my right quad muscle. I remember it very clearly, it was a raging snowstorm, though the wind was much worse than the snow. I was running up a steep hill on a trail, and I just felt it pull. It stayed sore for several days after that. Since then, this same quad muscle will get a little tweaked, for seemingly unimportant reasons. Yesterday it got tweaked a bit again, and it's still a little bothersome today. This time around, it doesn't bother me while I run, more like when I sit down and stand up.
I had wanted to do my long run today, but put it off until tomorrow because of the quad. I'm a little bummed about that because it throws off my schedule for next week in terms of hard/easy days, and next week is going to be a bit busy in the first place. Hopefully, it will all work itself out.
I ran 7 easy with 5 strides, while wearing a t-shirt and shorts. It was a beautiful day. This was sort of a surreal experience, as I was running over ice and snow here and there, yet it was in the 50's outside. Wow.
A fairly low-key entry for a low-key day.

50s! T-shirt and shorts? I am jealous . . . but the word on the street is that Chicago is about to get into the 50s and 60s this week.
Take care of your quad =)
