I could hardly get out of bed Monday because my back was so stiff, so I skipped the run and stood in a hot shower for 30 minutes. Then stretched awhile and tried to keep it loose during the day at work. Today I feel better, just a little sore but I can tell it's only muscle tightness and working its way out. Didn't even feel it during the few miles this morning, and stretching for a sustained period again helped. Anyway, good easy run, the snow from last night stopped and the sun was out.

If it doesn't get better you can use this as a good excuse to get a 2 hour massage. At least that's what Paul does.

You must have quite the water heater to get a 30 minute hot shower!

The water heater is stellar in my house. The furnace, not so much. It went out Sunday night so both Monday and Tuesday mornings it was in the low 40s INSIDE the house. Gives you a reason to go outside and run where it's warmer (or stay in the shower).
