Neck problems while running
General Questions
Hi Dread lovers,
Any suggestions on the following topic would be greatly received!
I have quite heavy long dreads, which generally cause me very few problems (apart from the old hair roots giving me the constant snow sprinkled appearance of a person having dandruff issues) This however up until two weeks ago...
While out running (in the Berlin Marathon, so quite a long way!) I started to become aware of my neck being pulled backwards. For a while I was able to lift my head and tilt the weight of my hair forwards over my shoulders, (by this I just mean that every time it went back I'd shove my chin down again.) This went on for a while and I convinced myself that doing it was giving me something to focus on. As time went on however, and I inevitably became weaker, I had to try to think of more and more ways to keep my head upright. By the end of the marathon I was tremendously uncomfortable. Even, to put it mildly, I was a wild haired, air gasping, bent necked lunatic! It really put me in a bloody bad mood with my hair, despite of all of the wonderful support I'd got on the way around from dread headed people of all countries. It even made me think about the 'S' word (scissors)
A similar experience did occur previously, while I was swimming...
