Woke up this morning feeling pretty good but it wasn't until my pilates class (45mins) started that I discovered that I do have considerable soreness after yesterday's massage (maybe that's an excuse to buy a pair of Skins...) so I took it relatively easily. My feet feel strange today - I think they are actually working properly :-) My knee is fine too - amazing what happens when you get a really good massage!!
Session with Satan at 2pm today. A strange session consisting of weights plus an unusually large number of stretches (particularly PNF stretches for my hip flexors which are a bit tight). The weights component consisted of 3 different glute exercises, push ups and a new modified chin up exercise (I'm slowly - but surely - getting closer and closer to being able to do chin ups, woohoo!).
20mins of stretches at home tonight. I'm not sure what to do tomorrow; I'm seeing Satan at lunch but I'm pondering doing an easy 20min run as well (as I had originally planned). I'm sure I'm being over cautious but I just don't want to aggravate anything 4 days out from the 9km. I might wait and see what Satan has planned for me first...

Hope your peroneus longus (!) is feeling much better. I'm having a massage tomorrow and i'm hoping he can massage out the tightness in my R glute/hamstring - its getting tighter with each day. I also think I aggravated the sciatic nerve in yoga last night. But I'm feeling positive and my mantra is - enjoy Sunday! Mind you, I'm still getting over the fact that the Lindt cafe will not be open - that was to be my motivation when I hit low spots in the marathon! Looking forward to catching up with you nevertheless!
Its just 9kms on Sunday Jen - have you thought about what you will be thinking of for each third? Please share...
You need an excuse to buy skins? Rats, I just lined myself up a pair this morning and my 'excuse' was somebody was taking orders for them :-)
Best of luck in the run Sunday. Can't wait to see you out there cheering afterwards.
PS Love the Christopher Reeve quote.
You can't be too careful Jen. We all want you to get through that 9km on Sunday.
Have a great 9k on Sunday Jen. A new PB for sure! Thanks for encouraging all the bloggers.
