Two days after not running for two months: twice as sore

Note to self: If you run regularly, then don’t run at all for just over four months then don’t run again for another two months, you may find that two days after the second-run-in-six-months your legs will still be pretty freaking sore.

It’s kind of embarrassing, but not surprising.

Daylight is lasting just long enough now for it to still be a little light when I get home from work, teasing me about the days ahead when I’ll actually be able to run after dinner once again. The current lack of light post-work means I have some time to get into a comfy new stretching routine before regular runs resume. I look forward to making my legs sore without having to run at all.
