After a tough week last week and a few hard days in a row, today was a nice break. I ran 4 easy in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. Legs felt a little tired today. Probably a combination from last week and the 20 minute ice bath last night that took me about 2 hours to warm up from. James Sunderland tucked me in nice and tight so no heat escaped.

Ice baths are an important part of training, especially after workouts/high demand days. All of the blood rushes to the vital parts of your body in order to keep the important interior parts warm while in the bath. Ice baths help decrease inflammation in joints and muscle tissue and allows your body to recover from the workout quicker. Its really good for nagging injuries that are starting up as well because when you get out of the bath, the oxygen enriched blood flows very quickly to the areas that need it the most. Welp, that’s it for today. Hope everyone’s training is going well. Put the work in now so that you can have that 3rd plate on Thanksgiving. The 2nd plate wasn’t in question. I realize that. We are only human. But We Are One 365.
