@lporter229 I get chills after harder runs sometimes too, I think it has to do with adrenaline dump after a hard workout.0

End of month question for everyone. What changes, goals do you anticipate seeing in the next year running? Where would you like to be?
Having just started running in January 2017, I have a long way to go so this will be a good sized list
- train for my first Half - the Indy Mini in May 2017 - still debating between Higdon Half Marathon plan, Hanson Half Marathon plan or Fitzgerald 80/20 plan
- add strength training this winter once Fall races are completed
- develop a proper dynamic warmup before running and actually use it
- develop a proper post-run recovery routine (stretching, foam rolling, etc) and actually use it
- change nutrition profile - daily eating habits I used to lose 135lbs can no longer be used when running 20+ miles a week - need to change daily nutrition profile to support new amount of exercise
- work to improve running technique - currently working on hip based routines to improve all three axis of motion
Gonna be busy for the next 9 months or so ...3 -

Question for you all. Does anyone ever get real bad chills after a run? Last night I had a strange episode following my run and I'm not sure what to make about it. I did a 6.2 mile run with middle 4 @tempo pace. Temps were around 64F and damp because it had been raining all day. Run felt fine. Afterwards I got in my car and drove home, changed my clothes, played with my dog for a bit and started making my dinner (about 1 hour). Suddenly, I just felt super cold and began to shiver uncontrollably. I made a cup of tea which did not help. All of my limbs were aching and I could not quit shivering. I took a hot shower for about 25 minutes. I barely had the energy to get dressed and hop into bed. I layed under my covers still shaking and eventually fell asleep. I woke up about two hours later soaking wet. I changed my shirt and went back to bed. I woke up again, soaking wet. Changed again and went back to sleep. This morning I woke up feeling tired, but better. I showered and came to work and I feel fine.
In Dec 2014, while in peak training for a January marathon, I had a similar episode that left me very ill for a week. We were in New York, the day after a 20 miler, when I got the same type of shivers. The next day on the trip home, I got such intense muscle aches that I could barely move. They lasted a week. I went to my doctor and he thought that it was because I needed my immunosuppressant medication. I got the infusion and was eventually fine. In hind sight, I have since speculated that I was actually experiencing the symptoms of acute dehydration. The 20 mile run capping off a peak training weak, followed by one too many cocktails, etc.
The past two weeks have been a a bit crazy for me as well. I got braces on last Monday and have had a good bit of trouble eating. The pain has subsided, but I have not been able to chew real well. I lost 3 pounds since getting them on. I have been trying to drink a lot though. I am wondering if it could be due to lack of proper nutrition or something else involving my teeth or if it was just one of those things. I am not sure if maybe I should take a rest day today. Drinking a Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness shake for some nutrition.
Does anyone have any insight?

I almost thought I wasn't gonna reach my goal this month but here we are, 3.5ish miles away!! The weather is so nice today, I might just finish up today

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes yesterday!! I thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate cake from my team and the homemade Harvey Wallbanger cake (best cake ever!!) from my husband. Cake has carbs and I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to carb load before my half marathon on Saturday, right?
@greenolivetree How scary about the dog. I do run with a small pepper spray that straps to my hand. I bought it because some scary guy appeared to follow me on a trail once, but I figured I'm probably more likely to need it against an animal. Every now and then, I do see stray dogs roaming around, and there are some people who don't keep their dogs on a leash. I had a co-worker attacked by a dog once while walking her dog. If you do get pepper spray, just make sure you learn how to use it.
I sent a request to join the Strava group, so the pic of the blonde runner named Lisa is me!!
@Stoshew71 Thanks for the link. I'm always freezing post run too. Well, at first I'm hot, but then I get super cold, even in the Texas summers. Like the author, I'm tall and thin with a BMI on the low end of the range.

You are welcome. Interesting read since I never really looked into it before.
@Elise4270 must have beaten me to the punch since you were already accepted into the group when I looked in.
Happy belated birthday btw.

End of month question for everyone. What changes, goals do you anticipate seeing in the next year running? Where would you like to be?
Me, back chasing that sub 2 half pain free, strong, having had won the lottery so I can come visit everyone and we can go run and shop for new gear together.
a year from now- I'd really like to be at my running goal weight, -10 pounds.
My goals are:- Complete my 1st marathon. (Some goals may change depending on how the marathon goes. Not sure if I'll love it or hate it.)
- Run in at least 3 of the XTERRA Texas Trail Running Series Races
- I reached my goal weight this year, so I want to continue to maintain my weight and living a much healthier lifestyle.
- Continue to improve my running abilities, whether it's my speed, technique, etc...
Looking forward to seeing everyone else's goals!! 3 -

That'd be me. I approved a couple of folks today. I'm the tall one in the middle.4 -
About the question @lporter229 asked, I have a different theory... The shivering and the sweating in sleep make me think that she was actually fighting a cold/flu. And one time, I actually got a serious runny nose (which proved to be the beginning of a cold) within a few hours after a race. So, I did another Google search and found these:

Apparently, our immune system could be compromised after some hard training.1 -

My goals are: 1) To recover well, with no complications from my surgery in November so that by the new year, I'm back in the swing of running and working out; 2) Beat my PRs in 5K and 10K, and maybe attempt a 20K again; 3) Hit my weight loss goal, tone up and be stronger mentally and physically overall.4 -

That's definitely a strong possibility. Her symptoms did sound much more severe than a little shivering after a run. I know once I have a hot shower, I'm good to go. However, I do get very cold once I've cooled off after most runs...especially long runs.2 -

I'm stupid on the left, er right I mean. Right.2 -
@greenolivetree That story got my heart racing even thinking about it! I'm terrified of dogs and running really does challenge that because the damn things love chasing us! I think I would have screamed and cried all the way home. And probably for several hours later. And never run that road again.
@beginforthelasttime16 Good luck!
@Elise4270 That's an interesting end of month question, as I have lots of ideas in my head but don't want to post anything unrealistic! I guess my realistic goals are:
1) To complete the marathon I've signed up for. Don't care how fast or slow, just want to get round!
2) A sub-2hr half marathon
3) A sub-25 5km (which is a minute off my current PB, so a stretch goal)
4) To still be a runner and to still love running! I'd hate to run my marathon in April and feel as though I'm done when it's taken me this long to LOVE running. I've always liked it, but this month I have developed an all-consuming, want-to-run-all-the-time passion for it and I don't ever want that feeling to stop 3 -
Well, I'm glad I've completely spooked everybody with my dog story
This is only my second dog encounter with the last being maybe 3 months ago? I think I may have had a heart attack if it had lunged at my back instead of heels, thinking it was a person. And I'm thankful I didn't lose my footing.
To answer @Elise4270 's question..... I just really want to be able to run 5 days a week for a year and not have to take significant time off because something hurts. I've been easing back in to it and I'm hoping October goes well.
Also, once I get sweaty, it doesn't take much of a breeze and I'm shivering. In winter, I start to shiver on my cool down walk. In summer, it's as soon as I'm in the a/c and trying to stretch. But @lporter229 My husband has Crohn's and he's a "big ol' dude" and he will randomly be freezing/shivering and then sweating for no apparent reason when I feel fine. That's very normal for him. I've seen him under 2 blankets and wearing a winter hat and gloves in the living room watching tv 2 -
Thanks everyone for your replies to my chills question. Thanks for the links too. I do think it was something a little more than post work out chills. I just felt awful. But today I feel fine. With a suppressed immune system, I am always overly paranoid, I guess. Especially with the teeth thing going on too. @mom3over40 maybe you were right about the cold/flu. I just took a zinc table to be safe. I was going to take a rest day, but that's no fun. I think I will go home and grab the doggie and see how far she is willing to go with me tonight. At least I'm running, but will be sure not to over do it with miss 'I must sniff all the stuff" in tow.2

Thanks everybody for the support.
Ended up doing 10 miles today mid-day but kept the pace easy as I'm still recovering from Sunday's IM 70.3 and it was hot/sunny out. May try some MP miles tomorrow, but want to make sure I'm rested going into Chicago next week. Confirmed with my buddy our marathon strategy, so I'll likely just pace him to a 3:05, and maybe break off around mile 20 or so if I'm feeling super-strong and confident he'll be able to keep things up to the finish. Definitely believe Boston's cutoff will be the full 5 minutes next year, so I just want to lock in a -10 before trying to crack the 3 hour mark, or go for a NY Qualifier (of 2:55).

I like it for many reasons. Perhaps the biggest reason is getting to see the pictures folks post with their runs. Another reason is being able to see the actual routes.
As far as data, I don't know if there's any advantage over Garmin Connect. My GC data is configured to automatically dump to Strava, do that's easy.

Lovely goals! You know as the year ends and we progress through these challenges the impossible becomes possible.
I can't run half a mile. I can't even walk to the coffee maker with out a limpy gimp. And I looked back at my miles, trying to discern where I've been, where am I going, where to start from... An holy kittens mittens! How did I ever run all that?
Embrace the unrealistic even if you only come close, even if you only ever tried. Then when I win the lottery we'll have a girls run-cation 5
