8 mile run this morning. It was supposed to be an easy, recovery run. Well the pace was slow enough (7:55 Avg.) but there was nothing easy about it. I was right on the edge of calling it off and waiting to run when things didn't hurt so bad. But I went out and they still hurt real bad. First two miles in 18:40 and then I stopped looking. I tried to use the stick last night but it just hurt too bad to apply any pressure.

Isn't post race recovery great?

6.2 mile run this evening. My wife wanted to go to her mom's so I had her drop me off at the Post office by River Road and I ran one lap on the loop course there and then over to her mom's in the Boulders. It was a pretty good run because the weather has been a little cooler than regular. My legs still hurt every step of the way but maybe not as bad as this morning. 7:26 pace Avg.

I hear ya! I am getting a massage this morning, I'm scared.

I can't believe you went under 8! My ave was very close to 9:00!!! Wretchedly painful.

Are we planning on running together tonight or just do it on our own?

From dave holt on Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 11:44:52

I was going to add - I am fine with either, but it seems kind of a waste to get together for a crappy sore 6er (other than the company!). Let me know.

Josse- I don't know how you could handle a massage today. I'm so sore that it would just hurt way too bad. I can't even touch my legs with the stick.

Dave- I posted on your, but we can call off the group thing tonight. Unless you guys all want to. If I don't feel better by this afternoon I'll just take it off in hopes to feel better tomorrow.

Sounds good - I'll just go out this afternoon and grab a little on the grass.

The massage hurt but I feel so much better. She scraped my quads, I was crying it hurt so bad. But faster recovery:)
