Marathoners who completed their last LR this past weekend

Since I know that there are a lot of May 6th marathoners here.....

I feel like I'm getting increasingly stiffer as the day wears on. Obviously yesterday's 20 miler wasn't the "end all be all" to my training and I have 3 scheduled runs this week. 

Are any of you stiff and a bit sore?  What are you doing this week to combat the feeling?

Foam rolling! And ibuprofen.

I ran Friday morning, was sore Friday night, a little tight Saturday, a little less Sunday, and perfectly normal today. If I'd gotten out to run a few recovery miles like I wanted yesterday, I imagine that would've sped the process up a bit. My run today was back to the low end of my usual pace.

I didnt have a long run, but I played a double header softball games for the first time since having rotator cuff surgery.  OMG it hurt to sneeze.  Softball musckles (yes I know I spelled it that way for a reason) are totally different than running musckles.

Yoga and foam rolling. I ran 22 on Saturday and was feeling pretty beat up yesterday morning, but after a good yoga session and stretch, i'm feeling much better today.

I could barely walk Friday after my run.  I foam rolled and ibuprofen'd afterwards (and DH massaged me for a while) and was fine on Saturday.  I ran 5 today and felt great!
