I took a couple days off. Why? Honestly I just wanted a break. My lower legs were hurting a bit so I wanted to rest them. Then last night a Dairy Queen blizzard sounded infinitely better than a run.
I got right back on the wagon today and ran 6 miles with absolutely no lower leg pain. It was no easy run, though. My heart felt like it was working harder than normal even though I had a slow pace. I blame a combination of the high noon sun and the fact that I haven't gone running since last Wednesday.
After my run I experienced the greatest pleasure known to mankind.
The Stick!
It arrived on Thursday. It's a waterproof and flexible stick with rollers designed for deep massage. It came with a chart on how to use it on different muscle groups.
I used it on my lower legs and my neck.
Oh man it felt amazing.
