5 TM miles at the Y before work. Only had to take 1 walk break, and it was short, then ended with a slow (10 min pace) last mile. Yesterday my last 1/4 mile was a 6:56 pace and it kept me sweating for 30 minutes afterwards, which is never fun when putting on a shirt and tie.

Did some situps and pushups afterwards.

Seems like in Montana, you could just step outside for 30 seconds and...no more sweat problem.

You're spot on about stepping outside and no sweat...but keep exercising, and sweat drips from the heat-making areas while other areas freeze. One spot is the buttocks. I haven't figured out how to keep my tail covered. The hands tend to get cold as well. And the nose. But definitely not the armpits. Those stay warm.

Joe, sorry you're finally living up to your name.... I hope the stress reaction is true - that would make sense with what I experienced as it healed fairly quickly vs a fracture taking months to recover. If you're interested, I documented it on my blog starting on Feb 23, 2012. http://russ.fastrunningblog.com/blog-02-2012.html. Seems like I was back to running for good on March 24th. At the time seemed like forever, but in the grand scheme wasn't much. I hope and pray your foot heals quickly.

Thanks Russ, appreciate it. I'll take a look now.

Maybe I'll join you in the vigilante career instead.
