Oh and the foam roller - hurts so good.Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-26135128129670507122012-03-15T22:13:51.996-05:002012-03-15T22:13:51.996-05:00Wow!

Maybe next time I'll try that, although I very honestly don't get sore anymore unless it's a super tough course or longer than 26.2 miles.Beckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260238987157763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-42311782246645033052012-03-14T13:29:40.731-05:002012-03-14T13:29:40.731-05:00I'm so with you on this technique.

Then I take my day off. <br /><br />Glad you are feeling recovered!misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-81387883260018421282012-03-14T13:04:11.539-05:002012-03-14T13:04:11.539-05:00I took an ice bath Sunday afternoon as soon as we ...I took an ice bath Sunday afternoon as soon as we got home from my marathon. I was much less sore after this one than my marathon in January. (My right knee is bothering me a little right now though but I am pretty sure all the crazy hills along the course are to blame for that part.) I need to try your jogging it out method one of these days... I'm just such a lazy wimp post marathon!Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865099182609959790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-43921829457807683802012-03-14T08:19:00.982-05:002012-03-14T08:19:00.982-05:00You crazy.

You have a bionic body, clearly, and can run a marathon after a marathon.<br /><br />Belated thanks on your investigative work! Though I do wish you're findings were more budget friendly... Lol. Oh, and I got a call from Walgreens tulane telling me my prescription was not yet ready for pickup. I assumed it thought you were trying to fill it.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-22388703074103323512012-03-13T17:55:03.524-05:002012-03-13T17:55:03.524-05:00I got stuck in a car for 3 hours after NOLA... and...I got stuck in a car for 3 hours after NOLA... and was SORE. Normally I like to do some light exercise - walking, stationary bike, gentle yoga. I usually don't run until a day or two after a long race - just to give my toenails time to recover - but I do keep moving. Staying still makes me WAY more sore.Beth (i run like a girl)http://i-run-like-a-girl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-39853776648911642132012-03-13T11:35:29.095-05:002012-03-13T11:35:29.095-05:00Interesting recovery tip!

I usually hit the couch & don't move a muscle until I absolutely have to, but perhaps that's not the best idea. ;-) And, I'm with you on the dark polish - I'm currently rocking a violet color, to mask the three toe nails that are purple & gnarly.Running Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773459567812986141noreply@blogger.com
