POST MARATHON SORENESS

I have none! WOOT WOOT!

Okay, I don't mean to brag and yes, my ankle is still swollen but that was a pre-existing injury and caused my complete klutziness. But muscle wise my body is.not.sore!! I was stiff on Monday and yes, I did walk down the stairs backwards once or twice but I woke up Tuesday morning feeling FANTASTIC!

Last year I wasn't sore after CIM either. I wonder if it is my wonderful training plan or the fact that I now consume some SILK chocolate soy milk after most of my hard races . . . either way I am thrilled.

Saturday is my next run and the first time I will be running post CIM. My 50K trail training program starts on Saturday. Many people are calling me nuts but we're only supposed to run an easy 8 miles on Saturday and well it is my birthday weekend (yes, the entire weekend) and I can do what I want to do. So neener neerer! No, I am not turning 10 I just act like it sometimes.

  2. You only celebrate the weekend, mine is usually all week - LOL!! Birthday week - oh yeah!!

    Congrats on no pain after CIM! My boss did the run and he's sore. He said I tried to do a short run on the treadmill yesterday and couldn't do it.

    I like you comment about walking down the stairs backwards. I'll have to remember that tip - LOL.

    Way Too Cool, here we come!
