I should have realised last week that when I began experimenting with a longer stride, that my muscles would react by getting sore in different ways. I should have, but I didn’t. So the penny finally dropped this morning as I was wondering why my legs were stiff here rather than there where they’d always been stiff before, and why (once they limbered up and I began my full, loose stride) they seemed very rapidly to get sore in those places. I’m a slow learner, but I do learn. Anyway, I got my miles in, partly running and partly walking, and got home for coffee and hot breakfast, cleaning up, check-in at the church for wedding set-up, home to edit and print my homily, quick lunch, then off to church again for the wedding. after that, home for the afternoon and evening….
