Long run recovery workout.
So far I can already tell that my recovery from yesterday's long run is going better than it did after my 20 miler, and I think I can attribute that to doing the ice bath (thank you, Becca)! :)  Don't get me wrong, I am sore, but it's tolerable.  When I woke up this morning, after getting a good 8 hours sleep, I felt stiff, especially my hamstrings and quads.  I knew that I would feel better if I got moving, so I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, followed by 45 minutes of walking on the treadmill.  Tomorrow is a full rest day, for which my muscles will surely be thanking me.  ;)

YAY for ice baths! It does feel better, I made that mistake last week. I'm excited for my first 20 miles on Monday. Any thoughts about which marathon you're doing next?
