It all clicked this morning...

This morning I went for my 7 mile run, the goal of the run was just to get some turn over and loosen them up for tomorrows long run. To give you a brief background the past couple months have been up and down with my running. I finished last Tri season with some Achilles issues, got some physical therapy treatment and thought I was back to 110%. Then this winter when I started marathon training I started to get a few Achilles issues back and hip things going on. Despite my frustrations I continued to go through with my training but paying particular attention to icing,heating, stretching....etc. Last weekend I had a successful 20 miler and this week I had a dynamite track workout. However, mid week I found my legs tired, trashed and well...achy. Make a long story short I went to get a massage this week from a buddy of mine, Marvin. The entire massage I was in the what we call a 'hurt box'. My legs were a wreck as Marvin would say. After the 60 minute intense massage I felt like someone used my legs as there punching bag. I immediately guzzled 2 liters of water, thinking I have got to recover from this! The next morning I was sore, I spent time stretching, swimming and practice yoga. Today, well let's just say my legs rocked!! Like I said, "it all clicked this morning!"

After an extremely satisfying run I can hold my head high with confidence today!

Happy Friday,
Kim
