I was looking at my mileage from last week and I think it was my second or third longest week ever.

I am really hurting today. My lungs are really sore from all the heavy breathing yesterday and my quads and glutes are totally trashed. I took the puppy on a one mile walk this morning and that was painful.

When I took a shower I felt a burning sensation in my butt and looked and found that I have a fist size bruise and several cuts in my left buttock. I slammed down pretty hard at mile 7 on the ice and that must be where that happened. Darn - the glory of blood in a trail race and only my compression shorts knew it.

Wow! I think your lucky that you can still walk after that one. But I admire you for it nonetheless.

Thanks, Steve. You said I needed to work on my endurance. Does this count? LOL

Battle wounds! WOW! Cool :) I am really impressed that you can move at all. That lucky puppy- a walk! Be careful. Soreness can mask injury ;)
