DJ--I always take an ice bath after my long runs. It helps so much. I actually sit in the tub first and then turn on the water instead of just plunging into a huge tub of frigid water. I find cycling really helps with loosening up my legs too.

Well, girls, I'm supposed to do an 18 miler today but DH says he'll be working until 10 or 11 tonight. That leaves me with the little pooper. I'm hesitant about pushing her in the jogger that far. I've done 13 with her and she was great, but 18 miles is going to take me more than three hours. And I can't run on Sunday because we're riding in a tour all day. I don't know what to do . . .
