OK, 24 hrs have passed by since that great KELSO run and ride. Oh my aching legs. Going up stairs - pain level 6, Going down stairs - pain level 8! Why does it hurt more going down the stairs when running up the hills just about killed me!!!! If it hurts this much today, tomorrow will be frightening. I know, no pain, no gain.
I feel like I am letting the team and myself down by not being able to do the running portion of the homework task, but I honestly can say, I hurt too much. ADVIL just isn't enough. But I will do all my strength and core exercises. I have been stretching it out all day. Keeping the blood flowing to the muscles and assisting in the body's recovery. Lots of fluids and healthy eating.
Special thanks to the sponsors of our fantastic ROCKSTAR challenge girls for the cool swag. Hat, shirt, bag and the orienteering compass to make sure I don't get lost on my way to the finish line! HAPPY TRAILS and Cheers...till we meet again :)
Your aching muscles are just thanking you for all the hard work you put into Sunday's run :-)
