11-mile trail run today

Last Sat's 10-mile trail run left me recovering for 4 days while my tendons hurt
like hell. I stopped morning runs and managed to do a couple of 3-mile jogs
during the week. I only started to feel better on Wed and felt like running
again on Fri.

So it was great this morning to run 11 miles. Better, I seemed to bounce back in 4
hours! (I thought it would take me until at least Mon.) Tendons were sore but
nothing like the last time. I felt I could still do a 5-mile in the evening.
Does this have to do with my recovery foods: chocolate, coffee, chia, Kimchi,
sushi, and whole wheat bread?

Even the frequent low blood pressure sensation when getting up after sitting a
while on the sofa is gone. Could it be this good?

P.S. I was downing a freezing cold TsingDao beer while writing the words above ;-)
What a bless!

• 你是蠻厲害的，祝賀下。不過前幾天你還傷筋傷得厲害，今天就加碼，這決定可不明智啊。要緊的不是短時間能跑馬拉鬆，而是一輩子都能跑。 -Manymore- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/20/2014 postreply 18:04:13

• 就是“奇跡”這個詞，一般的話，你可能就一兩個月不能跑了，還是謹慎啊。 -Manymore- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/20/2014 postreply 18:21:12
