Notes

Not a very good run. Both legs problematic on the way. I was hoping it will ease but I did not help by running faster up on the hills. As it happened I must have pushed it too hard for my own shake as they say. I did not make myself any favours as both legs / calves & soleus became extremely tight, especially the right leg.

It must have been the beautiful warm sun that made me ignore the niggling of the legs. Despite the fact that I did take a break from running yesterday it did not help. Legs felt stiff and rigid and calves almost cemented to the ground. Franc gave me some good deep massage on both legs. What a relief this was!!!!!! Heaven on Earth and I felt alive again. As he says he knows my legs so well from first touch he knows what is going on inside. Right leg was badly knotted, lumpy and very sensitive on the sheath from knee down to the bottom of the leg. Extremely painful to touch to start with but eased down very quickly within min of the massage. Circulation is the number one healer in the body. One feels alive again.

It may be tough to run tomorrow but tomorrow is another day to deal with when it comes. Today's run it was a painful experience.
