Ran my 4 miles Monday morning and had a massage with Brian Monday afternoon. Told him not to cripple me like my last deep tissue massage with him! He worked mostly on my legs, suggested a few stretches and then I rushed off to meet my parents at a neurologist appointment for my mom. Home in the afternoon to see clients when all I felt like doing was taking a long nap.
But what a difference that massage made. Tuesday's run was so easy and I felt absolutely great. Not a single ache in my legs, my glutes felt great during the run. Whatever Brian did worked. Wish I could have one of those massages every day. My next one is scheduled for the day after I run the Williamsburg Half Marathon on Sunday, February 24.
I decided to push my pace a bit on my Thursday short runs and improved my pace this week by almost 30 seconds over last week (10:30 this week; 10:54 last week). As usual I've been watching weather reports and Friday was supposed to be in the 50s and Saturday in the 30s and windy after a cold front came through. So I decided to do my long run on Friday instead of Saturday -- with no rest day before but with 2 rest days post-run. And my last full weekend with no runs until after the marathon. My house is desperately in need of cleaning (yuk!). Other than that it will be nice to relax.
