My legs still hurt...

[derby378]

Saturday morning, I hiked for 4.8 miles. Hadn't originally planned to go that far, but if it's taking the pounds off, I can't complain too much. Ever since the Race For The Cure two weeks ago, I've been trying to make a hike of at least three miles my weekly ritual.

1. Get in an ice whirlpool

Your legs will feel better, but you'll never speak to me again.

3. Never heard of that kind of whirlpool before...

...but it actually sounds rather inviting. I love my hot showers, but I'm not afraid of a little cold once in a while.

4. I used to coach track and cross country

We had these big stainless steel tubs with a whirlpool motor and could fill them with either hot or cold water. The ice water whirlpools weren't too bad if you just had sore shins or a sprained ankle. But if you had a pulled hamstring, you would have to immerse yourself a lot deeper. The whirlpool action would make the cold a lot less fun. Who said coaches were sadistic?

2. Feel the pain!

It's for a good cause, your health! :evilgrin:
