I know I mentioned it before, but I am FREEZING!!!! Is this normal after you've walked long distances?? I've taken a VERY hot shower and been in my warm jammies and under the covers and I am still freezing! BRRRRRR!

Post 16 today--it was in the low 80s--I had to put on a jacket...I was shivering at Panera Bread. Wish I had my Roots athletic pants--got them on sale last year (so they only cost an arm--I got to keep my leg
It's normal! Be careful to stay warm so you don't get hypothermia.
Another supply tip from the coaches--buy a blanket--garage sale, thrift store whatever--they are good to cover up with while you are waiting in the cold for a couple of hours--drop when the race stores.
Hot showers post race---BAAAAADDDDD--heat has a bad effect on muscle recovery--I use warm/hot for washing and then switch to cold. Just FYI--so if your muscles are hurting super bad tomorrow--that could by why. Everything COLD on long run day--use clothing and such to keep your skin warm.
