This morning was a classic case of 76-year-old SDOMS.\u00a0 That is Seriously Delayed Onset\u00a0 Muscle Soreness. My legs actually were more sore today than yesterday.\u00a0 This is a phenomenon that I have noticed as I have aged: muscle soreness peaks at about 48 hours after intense physical activity.\u00a0 So, today I did two gentle workouts.\u00a0 At 6a.m. I rode and ran very slowly for 45 minutes.\u00a0 At 4p.m. I jogged barefooted and walked for 2 miles on the beach in 30 minutes.\u00a0 My legs feel quite revitalized tonight.\u00a0 Tomorrow begins a three-day stretch of much cooler weather.\u00a0 It should be a good opportunity to log some longer runs to begin the effort to improve aerobic strength.\u00a0 Rich Refi reminds me, as he always does,\u00a0 of my own saying\u00a0 at the right time.\u00a0 “Morning runs equal power in the third mile.”\u00a0 \u00a0That is\u00a0 exactly what I need after analyzing my race on Saturday.\u00a0 I hope it is not too cold at 6a.m..<\/p>\n
