    Blood thickeners wanted

    I love autumn the best of all the seasons. The yellow light as the weaker sun shines through the fading leaves of the Syringa tree, the subtle colours of the grasslands  sprinkled with candy coloured cosmos and the freshness of the cold mornings.

    But I wish my body would adjust quicker. I went for a run this morning. Came back, had hot tea, then a hot shower, breakfast and sat down at my desk. I just got colder and colder till my hands were numb.

    On Saturday, it was the same. Even after a huge bowl of hot porridge. I ended up huddled in a blanket on the couch in the only spot of sun trying to get warm again.  Sometimes I find that after eating, my extremities get icy cold as the blood rushes to my stomach (at least I think that's why it happens). Then as autumn progresses into winter, it all eventually settles down. So I want to know? Is there something I can eat/drink to make this process hurry up?

    Soon though, everything will adjust and come August/September, these same temperatures will feel too hot.

    Perhaps OBS? at 8 am the neighbours will think it strange but your extremities will thank you.

  • Santacruzrulz's Space

    I host two cycling stage races - road and mountain bike - and I have just added a third event - The Alchemy Trail.. I like to tour rather than race and I crave wide open spaces. I completed the 2300km Race Across South Africa in June 2009 which inspired blogging. I don't do well without a goal of sorts and that keeps me outdoors.

    While this seems primarily a cycling blog, I'm interested in much, much more. There's more on trail running, novel writing and anything else that catches my interest.
