Just been for a sport massage.
OMFG - I know these things hurt (I've had them before) but this was beyond pain. My IT band was so tight, & there were a couple of spots in my calves that made me break out in a sweat.
The massuer was really nice though, & he said that I wasn't overly tight - considering I'm training for a marathon - except for the isssues with my calves & ITB. He also said that I was really brave & that lots of people make a huge fuss when he hits the sore spots. I just squeezed my eyes closed & winced. *g* I think training with a dodgy knee must have increased my pain threshold.
So - only 8 days to go!
\o/
Btw, I was listening to a Marathon Talk long run special, & they were interviewing a positive thinking coach (or whatever they're called - not too sure.) Anyway, she suggested that you imagine someone running with you & offering support if you're feeling low on a long, lonely run.
So - my two running mates are John & Ronon (naturally) & Rodney is at the finish line cheering me on. *g* Okay, I only need Carson & Lorne in a cloaked jumper, & I'm living out my own story but there you go. ;-)
