Recovery

OUCH! Everything was sore for the next couple of days, from the legs right through to the muscles in my back, especially around the shoulder blades? go figure? I guess I put my body through a bit more punishment on the day than I had realised. Managed to get my magnificent wife to provide a massage on the Tuesday night which left me feeling a lot better the following day.
Funny about massages, my wife is a qualified sports massuese but do you think I can get a massage without pestering the heck out of her? I suppose it's a bit like the plumber with the leaky taps eh:)
Feeling a reasonable sense of accomplishment though that I ran a half marathon, and getting lots of congrats from friends and family which is very nice. Saw the physio the Wednesday after the run and hadn't realised how much I had aggravated my PF muscles in the feet until she dug her thumb into the soft spot under my heel and I hit the roof! Has been tender ever since so need to get the golf ball out and do my exercises to continue to loosen things up and hopefully get it healed and back to full fitness again.
Had a light 6k run the next day with one of the girls from the running group, and whilst the foot/feet were a bit tender, I felt ok and the legs were fine. BTW our running group at Goodwood is called the Crusty Buggers, not sure how we came up with that one but I will blame one of the girls for that!
Another 6k on Saturday morning and again at a very easy pace as another 'crusty' & I joined the 'Start Runners' just to turn the legs over and have a nice social run. We kept running while they slowed to a walk at various points and didn't bother timimg the run or anything so it was fairly cruisy. Starting to feel now like I can slowly get back into it next week have a couple of solid hit-outs before the City 2 Bay (C2B)
