How fast is too fast???

A day after my first easy run my muscles are fine, but left arch and right Achilles continue to complain.  So I began taking my anti-inflammatory pills again today. I have a month’s worth of the prescription left.  I plan to refrain from running again until my feet are pain-free. And I think the anti-inflammatory pills will help speed up that eventuality.  On reflection I have concluded that stopping these pills immediately after my races was not the best idea. It was probably a foregone conclusion that three maximum efforts would inflame the areas of chronic weakness.

So, I went to the clubhouse and rode the bike for 10 minutes, lifted weights for 20 minutes and spent 40 minutes in the pool running and swimming. Then I sat in the hot whirlpool for half hour to top off this lovely summer afternoon. The whole effort was pleasantly exhausting.
