This year it isn't as painful but I'm still feeling those familiar creeks and twinges as I start to up my mileage. I think it just comes with the territory, but it's worth it.

Thanks Winding! I've been icing AND ibuprofen and they both help. DH even talked me into an ice bath---I hated it but I had to admit that it sure helped.
