Hate to admitt it....

I hate to admit it, but I was SO FREAKIN' SORE after the half-marathon on Saturday.  I've never been really sore after a half-marathon before.  Just a little tight, but nothing bad....  Am I just not in as good of shape as I was last year?  Or was it all of the hills and battling the horrible head-on winds?  I don't really know...I vote for the later. LOL!  :-)
That afternoon, my knee was so sore I could barely walk.  Then after we finally relaxed that evening, when I got up off of the couch to go to bed, my calves were screaming in pain! What?!?!  This has never happened before!  Then of course on Sunday morning when I got out of bed, I took one step and about fell down.  My calves were on serious protest!  LOL!  After walking around awhile, I was able to work some of the soreness out, but YAOUCH!   
Monday was much better. Not as sore, but still not fully energized.  I spent the day with my sweetie pie, and it was pure bliss!!!  (I love you baby!)
Finally, today, I'm feeling normal again.  Stephen had to work, so I did my college homework and quiz this morning, and just now finished running 5 miles. That felt GREAT!  No knee pain, thank the Lord!..and got a good sweat in. 
Some work just arrived, so I'm gonna shower and get busy on that before I gotta go get the munchkins. 
Later!

Thanks Kate! I am feeling 100% normal again now. Yea!
I even ran 5 miles with NO knee pain, and no pain "after" the run either. I think my new vitamins may be helping.
