I am sore

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Back in DC! Ran from Tenlytown Metro to GDS aching all the way in my calves and quads. My hips are amazing free of soreness and never bothered me during the race, so I guess those last two weeks of hip strengthing work really did pay off! I'll need to keep that in mind for the future. After a warm-up with the team to the baseball field by Anthony's house and some legs swings, I joined Leah Belber, Lucia, and Hannah on a slow recovery run toward the Bethesda firehouse. Had a good chat with Hannah on the way back up Wisconsin and then joined the team for smoothies in what used to be called the lounge in my day, while regaling folks with tales about the marathon. Fun day! My left lower calf continues to feel inflamed so I've been icing it. Never hurt during the race, but I think my post-marathon 40-mile bike ride (see Tuesday's log) may have overdone it...
