I took food on my run (the first time this year) - 16 oz. of Gatorade and 2 granola bars (I even drank some of the Gatorade - 12 oz.) It was cold and rainy the whole time (from 6:40 'til 8:41). Towards the end of the run, I noticed that my feet (mostly the left) were slapping the ground. I tried to correct it, but for the life of me, I couldn't seem to make a difference. I figured out what the problem was when I got home - I was freezing! I felt fine, but was red all over (I ran without a shirt...) I showered but had the water pretty cold, but it felt good - that's when I realized how cold I was, so I bathed - I couldn't gage the temperature at all with my feet. At one point I had it an straight hot (which I never do cause it's too hot!) but it felt just fine. No lasting effects, I'm just explaining the foot slap... I think that the cold weather kept my HR low!
