I started a new base-building plan last night. The goal for the first many weeks is consistent running. This week it is 3 mile easy pace runs, every other day. That'll be three runs this week, and four the next. Last night was 3 mile run number 1. I mapped out a bunch of options from my work and chose a route I'd never really run before. When I got to 3.1 miles, I walked the remaining 0.25 mile back to the parking lot as my 'cool down'. All good. I wore my Terra Plana's because my VFF's gave me a blister the last time I wore them.

Funny thing about today. Today I am a bit achey in my lower body even though I only did 3 miles at an easy pace. Last Thursday I did 4 miles at a faster pace and had no aches at all. The difference? Last Thursday I showered and then put on my Zoot compression RX recovery tights and wore them for 3 hours. I didn't bother this time. What a difference!
