I'll jump in with a fun Friday question to end the week
Fun Friday QOTD: What is your favorite post-run treat in the summer?
They make pedialyte pops which contain electrolytes, they are not bad until someone pukes red dye all over the house.
ATTQOTD: Assuming we are talking about right after a run, 95% of the time, I just drink water. Occasionally I will add some Gatorade. After I have showered/changed etc, it is a beer (or 2 or 3...)
I just saw them in my grocery store last week! But I'm still going through the zillion-pack I bought a decade ago for my son, who, it turned out, doesn't like them.
I can personally vouch the suckers never go bad lol! #alltheadditivesandpreservativesHang on... Nuun will freeze?! I've never tried because I assumed it had too much salt in it. I may need to try making some Nuun ice cubes to throw in my water bottle for hot runs!
What a great idea! So great that I just bought a package over my lunch break. This weekend's post-running treat will be great!
Beer
I'll jump in with a fun Friday question to end the week
Fun Friday QOTD: What is your favorite post-run treat in the summer?
ATTQOTD: I love cold watermelon after a hot run. I will also never turn down an ice cream bar of any type, especially the drumstick cones or a snickers ice cream bar.
So I don't really have a particular thing.
My family all knows I'm totally crazy for bundling up in a sweater for about 3 hours after my run on a 90-degree day.
I do have Raynaud's but I'm not aware that internal temp swings are a Raynaud's thing, though maybe it is for some? For me, it manifests when my skin is subjected to cold, in the form of hives. So when I eat my freezy-pop, I have to hold it wrapped in 3 layers of paper towel lol! I have an old condo and an old AC unit; I can't even get my AC low enough in summer to be cold.Don't I remember right that you have Raynaud's? (As do I?) How do you keep from swinging the opposite way and freezing your a** off? Even when it's really hot out and I'm really hot, assuming that I go into a normally air-conditioned house, after my shower I usually end up under a blanket for a few hours because my core temperature has dropped to nothing. I usually just have a cold drink. Or maybe that's not a Raynaud's thing and I've got some other super-weird thing.
That frustrating feeling that you get when you've been good, done your PT exercises, waited the appropriate amount of time, and start running slowly again, only to find that you are feeling familiar strains in familiar places.
That's the feeling I have today. Guess the only thing to do is stop doing the exercises and stop running again. Hoping another week or two will fix this.
Here’s a pretty basic ziplock Otter pop set up. I know they make the tubes that you can then use a simple heat sealer or vacuum packer to close, but I’m not digging around for it. I stumbled upon them when I was thinking about making boozy otter pops for our bar years ago, but working within the liquor laws in Utah proved challenging. You then pretty much need to figure out how much table salt and “no-salt” you want to use in them, since sodium and potassium are arguably the most important electrolytes.
Really, really bad.
