So - yesterday saw this foolhardy middle-aged woman go out for a 25-mile run, come back home for a bite to eat and a quick ice-down of her legs followed by an even quicker shower, then head out for a five mile run with a couple of running buddies. Then, immediately after the latter run, it was time to go listen to Mark Plaatjes talk about injury prevention.
Today was reality check time. Just what would the aftereffects be of that 30-mile day? I'm still shaking my head in amazement. This morning's run - six miles with Jester to/from/and throughout CU's cross-country property - was smooth sailing. About half way through, I was leading Jester. And this afternoon's run - another six mile run, this time starting from home and ending at a pizza place where Kendall was guest chef'ing as part of a fundraiser for his school - was some more smooth sailing. Well...the joints and all were moving smoothly - but the wind was gusting so much, the body was getting buffeted all over the place. The one notable aftereffect from yesterday's 30: hungry! The pizza place was an all you can eat type of deal - and I really got my money's worth tonight!
