Also:

Any idea about this weird bruising on my thighs? It started in Greenland and I wondered if it was related to running in the cold. It is roughly around where my thermal shorts stop, but mostly at the front and inside. However, I have had those shorts for about a decade and they have never done this before; and it it is not improving even when I don't wear them/it is a bit warmer.

Does it feel hot/sore ITG 🇮🇸 or just marks? (not a doctor)

Hopefully current issues just part of natural cycle & plateauing. Even if none of us can outrun time, you won’t have become a crap runner overnight. Keep doing the stuff that you know works and things will look up 🤞

Thanks, CD. I have become a crap runner over 3 years which is not much comfort.

Bruising is just that. Looks and feels like bruising, tender to touch but surface only.

ITG - I'm not a doctor, but your 'bruising' seems to match symptoms (off the web) of 'superficial frost bite', or 'surface'; more severe than frostnip but not the full blown version.
And on your thighs, look a minor case and nowhere near as bad as some of the web pictures.

(google at your own risk)

**and again, not a doctor**

That's helpful, Um, and would make sense. It was very cold some days (below -10c pliw windchill). Scared to look though...

Hope it will go away and not turn gangrenous.

I would suspect it is unlikely you’ll get gangrene ITG. I have bruises in the same place from crashing into the sides of desks and cupboard doors :-) well done for getting out there

Hope racerun went well Caz and you enjoyed the footie. I was paid time and a half for the bank holiday but am knackered now and dreading an early start tomorrow

Best of luck to AL for Sunday and happy easter wekend all, particularly to all the thread birthday offspring

Morning all and happy park run day

Thankfully the wind has died down here today and the paddleboard may come out for its first sea trip today
