Monday was tough. My calves were not happy. My body was achey. I went for a long walk which helped loosen me up, but it all tightened right back up later on.
Tuesday was a bit better. I could walk easier. I did a lot of myofascial work and stretched.
Wednesday was surprisingly good. I woke up relatively loose (relative for having done my first double). I did some exercises at the gym and got a massage. Other than my nagging calf pain, I was feeling good.
Today I feel great. I'm not back 100% by any means, but my legs feel good albeit a little sore when pushed. Oh, and my 2nd toenails are a little touchy. Other than that though, it's time to loosen them up with a run. Off to the track!! We've got 800m repeats tonight. I'm just hoping to get in the full 4-6 repeats without a pain or too much of an energy drag. But we'll see. If I do, I can't really complain. I dug my own hole this time.
Next up: JFK 50

Questions
1. How long after a big race do you get back to exercising/training?
It all depends on the race. It could be the next day or a week.
2. What's the next race on your schedule?
JFK 50 is in my sights. If I can do a double, I can handle 50. Seriously! I have no reservations about this one.
3. What does your "off-season" look like?
I haven't had one in a year. I'm not sure I'd recognize it if it came up and bit me.
DREAM. BELIEVE. ACHIEVE.
