Recovering in Belchertown

We hit 12.5 miles yesterday -- longest I've ever run, and a little shy of Yesh's 1/2 marathon a few years ago.

We then hopped into a car for a 4 hour drive to Belchertown MA, for our friends Tim and Naomi's wedding. Bad idea (to drive for 4 hrs straight after the run with no stretches, NOT the wedding :) )! We were walking like Iron Giants for the next 2 days (this didn't, however, stop us from dancing to the great music at the wedding reception!).

So, lesson learnt, we need to stretch out a bit more and not sit for extended periods of time after a long run!
