Nice morning run today.  What a difference running in the spring makes.  Not just to your body, footing, breathing.  But, to your mind.  It was bright so early, that put a jump in my step from the start.  I went out for 10k west along the lake.  Took a new route north along the Humber on the east bank.  Never been up that way before, and one of my mapping friends at the City had been asking me about that path.  It put me up on the Queensway, and then I had a familiar run back into the park and home.

Felt pretty good.  Then got on my bike and rode into work.  Still felt good.  Then got a massage, with focus on my injury point.  Didn't feel so good!  heheheh  I'm writing this on Friday morning, and it feels fine. Steve the RMT says that I should go in to see him a couple of weeks before Ottawa, just to focus on the lower body.  Sounds good to me.
