Recovery

Sunday mornings are always interesting. It is when the initial pain from the run starts to fade away and the longer-lasting soreness starts to settle in. After 15 miles on Saturday, the pains on Sunday were a little worse than normal. I had a blister on my toe, chafing on my back and chest from my running bra, and tight hamstrings. Oh, and aching feet.

Our attack: go hiking. Nuts right? Well, it gets our muscles loose, gets our blood flowing, and we get fresh air. We headed out to forest park and went for a walk with Penny - about three miles. It did feel great. Plus I wanted to test out my new hiking shoes that I got with birthday gift cards from Mike's parents :)

Unfortunately, hiking doesn't help aching feet. So, Sunday night, with my new foot massager and soaking salts that I got for my birthday from my bff, I pampered my abused feet.

I can't wait for yoga tonight...

Hm, I wonder when professional massages will become part of recovery. Next week maybe :)
