Recovery in Brief
I ran a nice and slow 4km tonight, as per usual after the Sunday long run. It took me 23:44 for an average pace of 5:56/km. I barely broke a sweat since my average heart rate was a paltry 128bpm, right on target. This was supposed to be a nice easy run and it certainly ended up that way.
My foot is a bit tight, but not as bad as it was after my long run a little over a week ago so I feel pretty good about that. I did make an appointment for a massage with an awesome massage therapist who worked on me when I was going through my whole wonky ankle issues a while back. I hope that he can do some stuff to loosen up my foot and calf since I think that will help. This time I am not worried about my plantar fasciitis getting fixed prior to seeing my physio on March 25th since this has been a problem dating back to last October. If it does get fixed miraculously I certainly won't complain, but I don't expect miracles.
Now back to the WBC! Canada is down 4-2 to those pesky Italians, many of whom were not born in Italy and are quite decent players in the Major Leagues. I hope Canada can make a comeback!
Garmin don't lie.

That is great that you get to see the WBC. I really hope to make it to a game one year. I hope the massage works.
Hope the massage works! Have a great week!
Ooooo, massage. Hope that helps your foot/calf situation.
Good job with the recovery run. The biggest mistake runners make is they go too fast during their 'recovery' runs. I had a coach tell me that it is impossible to go too slow during a recovery run.
Chad: I think that's great advice - thanks! Anything to help slow me down is a good thing, and this will definitely help.
If you have an opportunity, look into Active Release Techniques. I use them on my Plantar Fasciitis patients and have been getting great results. One woman yesterday said to me "Where have you been the last 6 years of my life?"
She was scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks on a heel spur. After 3 or 4 treatments with A.R.T. you'll know if it'll help or not, often even sooner. www.activerelease.com
