On the rack! Jan 23rd - 40 mins gentle run - 87 days to marathon

I warmed down and stretched after Sundays race, but clearly insufficiently! I thought I'd done enough but I don't think a Swedish masseuse could have done more for me - I'd have liked to found out but didn't come across one.

Monday a.m. felt like my leg tendons and ligaments, as well as the all associated leg muscles had contracted an inch and then been yanked back taught. Repeatedly.

Took the legs out for a little refresher to keep them briefed on who's boss without causing full scale revolt. Nice gentle trot. Nothing more. Nothing less. Worked a treat - after 20min's everything from the thigh down was unraveling nicely and feeling substanitally looser. Once home did some floor exercises (more stretching) though just realised that this sounds like I'm turning into a ballerina. Works though.

Janeywife has bought me some sports massage sessions for Xmas. I think its time to cash one in. Gentleman's tonic here I come.
