Took the dogs for a nice and slow 1.5 mile walk.
Status check: Feet - 1 blood blister on big toe of right foot. No arch pain (did the 50 miles really cure that?). Glad to be out of those narrow shoes. Ankles - Just feel a bit....weary and creaky. Calves - Good to go. Don't feel like they broke a sweat. Quads - Pretty good. Occasionally a twinge, but probably more sympathetic than anything else. Hamstrings - Crying home to momma. Definitely took the brunt of the work. Note to self....strengthen hamstrings. Adductors - Worried that they won't get as much attention as the hamstrings, so they're making some noise too. Perhaps I should add some leg adduction to the abduction exercises I've been doing. Hip Flexors - Initially very whiny yesterday, but today not too bad. Think they could do with some additional stretching. Glutes - Feeling pretty good after being sat on all day today. Core - No issues. A big shout out to the core workouts. Shoulders & upper back - Hey, you didn't warn us that carrying a water bottle filled with water for 7 hours was going to work us this much. What gives? Might want to think about practicing this more often, ya think??? Head - Completely hopeless. Between all the positive feedback and the rousing success yesterday, swollen to gigantic proportions. Visions of waltzing effortlessly thru 50 mile trail races dancing in head. |
