That was a CRAPTASTIC run this morning at 5:00am. My lower right leg (calves) have felt tighter than ever. I had to stop a few times to stretch them out. Ughhhhh.....

I finished a great afternoon stretch and some HARD massage on my lower leg. Lots of icing. Please go away aches and pains. PLEASE!

What is up with the aches and pains? Can you not catch a break or what??? OK, more stretching and icing!

Sorry about the aches and pains, but watch the potty mouth! :)

blech. dumb legs. I'm sorry Toby! Take it easy until Saturday. You've got the miles, let your leg heal up until then and hit Hobble hard! :) You can do it. I know those legs will cooperate, or I'll kick them! not you..just them :)
