Achy Breaky Tuesday 4.19.11

<p>I'm sure all the marathoners are feeling it today.  I ran a half trail saturday and I am all beat up.  My left foot has been bothering me a little for about a month, my right knee (IT) hurt the last couple days but felt better today, and I somehow strained a muscle in my upper back below my shoulder blade that makes breathing when running more difficult.  I still got in my hour this afternoon running a little slower than yesterday until I did the last half mile at 7:00 pace just to change it up a little after going 8:30-8:40 the rest of the run.  Ended up with 7.01 miles.</p>

<p>I have my monthly massage coming up thursday so I am hoping that will help.</p>
<p>I am also soaking my foot in epsom salt.  It was only hurting a little after a hard workout</p>
<p>but isn't recovering as well after the race.</p>
