On this day:

Lower leg massage


JUST for the record books, I had a massage tonight at Palmer Park to help my calves recover from the rigours of this forefoot running. They were tight as piano wire but the massage aided loosening of them somewhat, knots being present around the anterior-medial line (where the belly of the calf touches the shin, on the inside). However, it was impossible to deal with all the tension in the 20 minutes available. I probably ought to start some light stretching of the area soon, and self massage of an evening might not be a bad idea - it's not like 'Corrie' is all that enthralling, is it?

How much did the massage cost, out of interest?

Whenever I've tried self-massage, I usually end up making it worse.

June works out of Palmer Park on a Wednesday evening, and charges £5 for 20 minutes, which is far, far better than the going rate. Get down there for 6:30pm though and get your name on the list as her booking sheet fills up fast!
