After I finished Ragnar I was done.  I didn't even feel like stretching out properly because hey, I was done.  I should have though.  It would have made the recovery process faster and probably less painful.

I ran three miles today to loosen the legs up.  My right leg hurts the most.  My guitar, I mean hamstring is still real tight.  The calf is pretty sore, too, but getting better.  I stopped and stretched after every mile and made sure to stretch really good when I was done.

Time - 26:56 (avg. pace 8:59)

Splits - 9:11, 8:56, 8:51

Its great that you are back at it so quick! Go slow.

From Burt on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 11:38:24 from 206.19.214.144

9 min. miles are slow, right? :)

From flatlander on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 11:45:24 from 198.207.244.102

No, fast.

From ChrisM on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 12:02:42 from 86.158.215.235

Good call, when you are done you are done.

Go easy on the guitar you don't want to break a string!

From RivertonPaul on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 15:03:45 from 67.42.27.114

Glad you are getting back at it.

From Scott Wesemann on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 17:42:38 from 66.239.250.209

I liked your Ragnar report. Very nice job getting back out to stretch the legs. I prefer my wife playing my guitar, but it is hard to convince her.

From Toby on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 22:13:08 from 216.194.124.36

Nice recovery run Burt!

From auntieem on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 23:18:01 from 67.182.146.94

I dunno, Burt, its all relative I guess. Some days 9 minute miles seem too fast!

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 06:11:34 from 78.32.130.9

Stop playing with the strings LOL

From vinh on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 06:54:08 from 75.77.22.187

Good recovery run Burt.

From seeaprilrun on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 18:35:49 from 205.172.12.229

"guitar"--chuckle! what an awesome way to describe a sore hamstring! Way to get out and loosen up with a few miles.

From JD on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 20:12:00 from 70.96.78.157

...and a progression run no less.

From Burt on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 21:24:23 from 206.19.214.144

Ha! That was not intentional JD.

Way to go at Ragnar! Enjoy your recovery time.
