Thanks everyone for your nice messages about my Steamtown race result. It definately turned out to be more than a training run.
I am working on my Steamtown Report, but unfortunately got a little cold post marathon sniffles that leaves me napping on the couch after work. I hope it doesn't hold on, I want to do some speedwork in preparation for the Hamilton Road to Hope marathon November 1st!! I am also thinking of running a half marathon this weekend in Toronto. I have some goals for that race, Hamilton, and then CIM the next month.
Tonight I am meeting a friend for Hot Yoga, which is my favourite post race recovery activity, which brings me to the topic of this post
What is your post-race recovery routine?
Here is what works for me
-Epsom Salt baths (eucalyptus)
-Massage
-Extra Sleep
-Herbal tea
-Potato chips (seriously)
-Hot Yoga
So what do you do?
