My legs cramped yesterday. Lactic acid burned both of them and I felt the cloak of exhaustion battering me. Like the tide that refused to go out, fatigue overwhelmed me, flooding me with sleepiness. I poured all the ice from the ice maker into the the cold water in the tub. And then I sat down in the icy bath.
HOLY #$%#! IT WAS FREEZING!!!!!!!!
If I had been a turtle, I’d still be in my shell.
A late work night and tired legs (I ran 13.5 miles last weekend after a five-day workout without a break), meant I needed a rest. I took a day off today and will take another ice bath again.
Tomorrow I’ll hit the workout hard. This time with fresher legs.
