Sideways Down Steps

Time: 23:25
Distance: ~2.5 miles
Aqua Jogging: 20 mins.

I decided to leave the house this afternoon and step on the pain train. I jogged gingerly over to Queens University where I was able to do a bit of aqua jogging. I've been told that the pressure of the water can help sore muscles recover. I'll do anything at this point.

My opening mile on the run was a few tic under 9 minutes and I wasn't about to pick it up. I was content to shuffle along the Sugar Creek Greenway. The downhills are the most painful moments right now as my quads have to absorb the impact fully. It will take about a week for the runs to be enjoyable again. Until then there will be a few light runs, stick massages and hopefully a little stretching.
