Near or far

The day after my massage, my legs were still hurting. Not all over, but one muscle in particular. I think the guy called it the Soleus.
This worried me yesterday because that was when I was running the 10 km road race for Corporate Challenge. I did not feel up to it.
I started out slowly, and it wasn’t pleasant, but it soon got better. I picked up speed, and in the end I got a fairly decent time.
And today? My legs feel better than they have for a long time. I guess there is some truth to the saying “Run it off.”
When I got my massage, the therapist said I had the body of a middle distance runner. So, not a marathon runner.
Do I stop running marathons? They aren’t that pleasant. But they are an event! An event that you can travel for. It’s hard to justify going to exotic locations for a 15 km run.
It’s a marathon or nothing.
