Keep the process moving along on the good foot....have you tried "The Stick" before and after each and every run and every time you think about those muscle boo boos????? Dallas is jsut around the corner, can't wait to meet up with you and your neat family....sure wish you were running the full! You can come run it with me! I'll keep you in check from running it too fast!!!!! I'm so tired I can't run anything fast!

Slick - I think my leg has something a little more serious than tight muscles. After taking off 5 days to give it a lot of rest, I ran 7.5 miles on Sunday. After about 2 miles it started hurting. I kept with it - changing my stride to try to make the pain go away. I massaged it after the run, did lots of stretching. Today (2 days later), it is puffy. I have some swelling that you can indent with your fingers -- and it holds its shape. I'm on vacation visiting relatives--but, when I return home, I'll probably make an appointment to see a sports doctor. This happened a few years ago after St George 2009, as well. I think I had to take a few months off of running for it to heal completely. White Rock is a big question mark at this point..but I'll still go, and take lots of pictures!
