I've been in this position more than once - needing a good reminder (which the muscles are usually happy to provide) that I need to do my own thing. Training for fulls taught me to scale back and be totally okay with where I am, not compared to anyone else. <br /><br />Ice baths have Never sounded appealing to me (except maybe in late July or August ;) ), and my legs have gotten by just fine. The warm epsom salt sounds great, though!Heather @ Dietitian on the Runhttp://dietitianontherun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-28480604062079433322012-01-23T20:09:01.486-08:002012-01-23T20:09:01.486-08:00I try not to compare when I'm on the track bec...I try not to compare when I'm on the track because there are disastrous results - I start speeding up to keep up with the faster girls and then I crash later! I "recover" by lots of walking and a run the next day.

So far, so good! I have heard recently that ice baths might not always be beneficial because they restrict blood flow. But you are right, I think there are definitely different approaches to reach similar outcomes. There is so much info out there it's hard to know what's best.Lindseyhttp://basicallybarefoot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-42715291604382326502012-01-23T13:25:07.906-08:002012-01-23T13:25:07.906-08:00I have gotten better at not comparing myself to ot...I have gotten better at not comparing myself to others, but it's still a struggle. I find myself saying things like, "that half marathon time was fast for me". I wish I didn't feel the need to justify my race times. i worked hard for them - I shouldn't make aside comment like that! It's tough, though!<br /><br />I'm all about the foam roller and my running stick. I haven't done an ice bath since I was trainign for the Portland marathon. I was not a fan of them so I might have to try the epsom salt bath instead!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.com
