Recovery

I feel like I'm always writing about aches and pains.  Are aches and pains my lot in life from here on out, regardless of how fit or conditioned I might be?  Are aches and pains the ravages of age?

I didn't expect to feel this beat up after the Boot Camp thing.  It was only 3 miles, afterall.  And I've done Cross Fit and boot camp workouts before.  I didn't expect the race to be easy, but neither did I expect to need much recovery time from it.

The tweaked ankle stiffened up over night and I wound up limping all day today.  I originally planned on a light recovery run today, but no way on this ankle.  (The heat wave would likely have stopped me anyway were it not for the ankle soreness.)  It doesn't feel like a long term injury.  I think I'll be able to go easy on it on Monday.  If not, then Tuesday for sure.
