Usually after a race there is quite a bit of pain. Ironically the pain I am feel wasn't race related. Remember on race day my issue was the arthritis in my feet were bothering. The walk to the car was a long and painful walk. I did my usual Frankenstein walk. Ugh.
The pain I suffered happened later that night at dinner. I got up funny from a chair I was sitting in. I stood up too fast, and began to turn to the right quickly, and I tweaked my knee. Now that has been painful for a couple of days. The rest of my body - nothing.
In fact the day after the race the only thing hurting was that knee. This has confused me as normally I would have some pain somewhere. This time relatively pain free. I did wear compression socks the next day, but my legs and feet were already pretty good. So what happened?
I am thinking it was the intervals Bob and I did. I wonder if running 1 minute and walking 1 minute made less of an impact on my feet, thereby not causing as much pain? Anyone with more science knowledge want to weigh in on that?
Now I wait for me knee to heal. It is more stiff than painful this morning, and that's a good sign.
