This morning I was able to get out and run 9 miles! It really did feel good. Getting that one calf to finally loosen up helped a lot.
But as I'm sure you all know, you never really feel the soreness and pain from a run directly after the run. Unless there's an injury or a tight muscle, I normally feel pretty good after my runs. On runs like today, I actually have to stop myself from running more, which is a pretty amazing feeling to have.
And then usually the soreness hits. Yet today, it wasn't nearly as bad. I give credit to the fact I had to work and thus I was standing up and constantly moving. I was able to work all that lactic acid out of my legs and while they did get tight for a bit, they also loosened up.
I honestly don't think I've felt this great after a long run in a long time... if ever. So now I guess it's a good thing to work after I have long runs?
