During the worst and coldest part of this winter, I postponed my weekly jog for 3 weeks running because of the temperature and also because of snow and ice on the roads.
For like over a week, too, I didn't do my six-times-a-week high intensity workout, replacing it with ten minutes of stretching instead, since the air was so dry that I was fighting off a mild sinus infection and trying to keep it from turning into anything worse.
Then, one week the weather began to lift, and so I wanted to squeeze in two jogs that week, somehow, to begin to make up for the jobs that I had missed.
And, the only way that I could really do that with the days with the high-enough temps that allowed for jogging, was to jog on one afternoon before a dinner shift at work.
As it turned out at that dinner shift, then, I had more energy but I moved more slowly, and I was also a bit more out of it, and at one point I wasn't holding a tray with a few dirty dishes like I usually would, and the half-empty cup of crab rangoon sauce slid on a plate and over its mild rim and then spilled over onto the tray and down onto my shirt and pants.
The top of my upper leg muscles were also noticeably sore, too, though that might have been compounded by how on the previous day I had returned to my high intensity workout, which includes two forms of squats.
