Day 85 - Running Hangover

At my age, sometimes there is a price for irresponsibility with my body. Today I am paying for my adrenaline-fueled long sprint yesterday with no warm-up or cool-down. My calf is really sore. My toe hurts. My ankles are sore. My hamstring is tight.

I got out of the office for my run during the lunch hour today, which is much better than running at 8pm. It is a beautiful day. I stretched well today, and took it easy. I put in 6 miles at a moderate pace, a little over 8 minutes/mile. My calf was pretty sore start to finish, but didn't get worse as I ran, and nothing else was too bad. Hopefully I'll be back ready to run hard soon, but I may need to take it easy for a couple of days and heal again.
