Training - Day 60

If the cold baths have had any effects I'd hate to think what my legs would be without them because I can't imagine my legs hurting much more than this. The left leg is now being overshadowed by the right and I'm walking like Egor, dragging the leg as I shuffle by. I still got up this morning and went to the gym but thought running might be too much for me so went on the bike. I did it at a level that was just shy of it turning the pedals automatically and then did some weights. That all seemed to go ok and then I spent ages doing some stretching. As the day went on, my leg got worse, putting the Saturday run in jeopardy. So, I stopped off at the shops and got some 'deep freeze' gel. I had a hot bath first to get the most contrast and then liberally spread the gel over my leg - rather too liberally as it turns out - still, I now know what it feels like to stick my leg in a furnace and then jump in a plunge pool - so I can tick that off the 'must do' list. Rest day tomorrow with as much ibuprofen as is humanly possible as I'm determined for these 'niggles' not to stop me.
