Yesterday, I was so sore from the race I could hardly walk. It got better throughout the day and I was able to go on a half hour walk that loosened things up a bit.
I got up today and it (meaning anything below the waist) hurt again. I decided to run on the flattest route I know...Young Ward loop. I started out at 8:00 pace and it hurt. After a mile I was loosening up and it turned into 7:30 pace with the same effort. By mile 5, I had loosened up enough that it became 7:00 pace. That made me happy. I will be able to run half decent this Wed after all. I ended up doing the last 5 under 7:00 pace with the last mile in 6:26. I think what helped were the 5x20 second striders that I did around the middle of the run. That woke the legs up.
Total Time: 72:04 (7:08)
