I'm hurting today

Posted by Steve Carton on Sep 11, 2008 8:46:23 AM

Yesterday evening my RB and I completed our first 22+ in preparation for Baltimore. We'll be doing one more next week and then start our taper towards the 10/11marathon. http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/dc/washington/457409879

 

The run last evening was fantastic. Temps in the mid-70s and resonable humidity. We ran slowly, though pushing a little throughout. I hurt today, but not from anything be the effort. So I'm pleased with where we are.

 

 

 

Hills Monday.

I swear by this "pose" which might seem ridiculous at first, but the way the blood gets cleaned when flows back to your core will speed your recovery. Seriously, give it a shot a few times throughout the day. You've got nothing to lose but your soreness. Let me know how it works for you:

I'll try it -- it makes intuitive sense anyway!
