It seems that my cycling habits need to improve. I spend too much time up from the saddle and I don't stretch. Ever.
To top things off I almost never walk, so recently the tendons that run down to my heel started asking for some TLC, and they did so in the form of pain.
Over the weekend I noticed that walking carefully helped a lot, so I decided to start walking more often and to become disciplined with my stretching. Both are currently a work in progress.
Today I walked to and from work— instead of cycling— and as expected it took me a while. About a total of 3 hours and 11 miles. I had done one-way in the past so I knew what to expect when I got to work: fatigue, a sense of accomplishment, and above all, an urgency to pee. What I didn't know was that the return trip would enhance all of these symptoms and extend the recovery period by about 18 hours.
Still, it was worth every step.
