the long run: six miles. ha! that's not even very long. but it felt like 18 miles to my legs. they. are. so. tight. my cute mama gave me her extra foam roller yesterday, so we'll see if rolling helps losen things up. just about every part of my right leg was feeling it at some point in that run on saturday. first it was my hamstring, then my hip, then my glute, then my hip flexor. I tried to take an ice bath (again, after a six mile run?!) afterward, but it was neither cold enough nor deep enough. but I'm hoping it helped at least a little.
the short run: 3 miles. for the first mile I felt really good this morning. I was even contemplating going farther, maybe 4 miles. but after that the tightness set in (just about the same time I started going up the hill... coincidence?) so I decided I'd just stick to the original plan as not to overdo it. I did come home and use the foam roller for a little bit. now I remember why I hate that thing so much. torture device!
happy labor day to all!
