Do you have weird thoughts, cravings, aches, pain, etc etc after a hard training day? Of course I'm asking for something besides the obvious of "I'm tired" or "I need to recover".
When its comes to weirdness well.....let's just say my variety of peculiar comes right in under the wire. ;p Ok, I'm not really peculiar just enjoyably different. ;)
So today after a tough swim, I drove home and decided to head out on my desert trail run. My mistake was not eating enough between the two events. You may be shaking your head in agreement and saying I should know better but I have a fussy tummy. I was planning on doing a longer and tougher run, so I didn't want to have much in my belly. :) Luckily my plan worked as far as keeping any GI distress at bay BUT as I got a little turned around and was stuck running up some rather short but steep hills over and over and over....did I mention over and over.
As I got up toward the base of the mtn and turned around I knew this was going to be tough! But I made it back home in one piece and ran the furthest distance I have to date. YIIIPPPEEE SKIPPEEEE. I'll take my wins how I can get them.
Anyhow. As I stood waist deep in the 48 degree ( yes I ck'ed ) swimming pool, I noticed that I could smell the jasmine bushes. Generally, I love jasmine bushes but standing the cold water turned the once beloved smell into a "close-call-almost" throwing up moment. After getting out it seemed like my normal nose had turned into a K-9 version. I'd swear the water even smelled while I was showering. S T RA N G E!
Along with overwhelming desire for carbonated ANYTHING and my super snooper nose, it seemed like I could hear EVERY little click, sniffle, cough, and hum of the frig. When I was at the grocery store I thought I was going mad between the perfume, bakery, other store smells as well as the noises and now sick tummy I had from some lady's perfume. YIKES. Thank goodness Fresh and Easy is a fairly quick trip, so I got in and got out as fast as possible.
I retreated into my house only to have to escape to the back porch for an hour before my tummy calmed down. Hmmmmm.....NOW I'm incredibly hungry and think I should probably go stand in the pool again. Jasmine.......hmmm.....maybe not. ;p ;p
So, anything weird like that ever happen to any of you?
***I also had the overwhelming desire to make some brownies...I'm not a huge choc fan (except for Nutella, so I am now the owner of some of the best tasting brownies ever. ) J will be happy when he gets home.....Fat Free and Low GI YUMMY!!

Funny you'd mention carbonation, that's my only weird craving. After any hard cardio workout all I want is a diet soda. Not water, not gatorade, not a treat, but diet soda. And I'm always freezing after yoga, especially hot yoga, not matter how hot it is outside. I will put on sweatpants and a hoodie for hours after.
I too often crave carbonation after a hard workout. Well that and Pringles! Whoops!
Congrats on the run! I am so happy to see you were able to run.
