I woke up nice and early Tues morning to take one of my maintenance walks. It felt good to go since I haven't been doing many of them due to my injury. However since I have chosen to walk the marathon it guess it made it easier to know that I was just walking and didn't have to worry if I was hurting myself.
I clipped on my water bottle belt put on my hat and headed out the door. I walked in silence which I really enjoyed. It was a beautiful brisk morning so I just took in the air and let my thoughts go free enjoying the silence.
I walked at my usual pace of 15 minutes per mile alternating at 14 minutes per mile. I did about 3 miles in about 45 minutes.
When I came home I rubbed down my IT band with the dough roller I bought specifically for that purpose. (it works :) I stretched my hamstrings and hips really good, took and ice cold shower to tame the inflammation, took some IB Profen and got ready for my day.
That seems to be the usual routine now after I am done walking. It helps.
Well that's it for now. Please don't forget to donate. We are almost there. Every little bit helps!
