I thought my legs felt pretty good...until I started running on them.  Yeah, I'm sore.  My calves, mainly.  It felt good to do a little shake out run on the treadmill though.  I would have gone outside but it was -8 degrees in Boulder this morning.  The forecast for today is "a high of 0 degrees."  Isn't that kind-of an oxymoron?

After a nice run and a bunch of dynamic stretching I picked my kids up in child care and we had a snack together before heading to Ali's gymnastics class.  I had a blast in gymnastics playing with Ali.  We stayed for the "free play" time after her class and played tag, practiced our forward rolls and bar flips, and ran and jumped around the room together.  This song came on over the iPod speakers...I think it is physically impossible NOT to dance to this song whenever I hear it.  Reminds me of being in 5th grade cruising around town in our old 1976 Chevy Nova with my Sister who had just turned 16.  My sister had that same exact hairstyle too, by the way.

Love the Bangles! I'm glad to hear that elite runners also experience post-race soreness! You can always trust a run to tell you how you really feel.
