Balls Balls Balls

Massage Balls that is...


I have used my massage balls a few times now, and they seem to be pretty effective. It definately is quite painful when I am actually using them, but it is the kind of pain you know is good for you.
After tri last night, my legs were cooked! I spent about 20 min with the balls and rollers, and I wasn't too sore today. It especially feels great on the calves/soleus area. I had problems with that in the summer, so it will be great if this helps.

At swim practice tonight we did alot of work with paddles and flippers. It was pretty fun, but mostly hard. We were using the pool's equipment, and the flippers were a bit too small. I think I will try to buy some for myself, as it was a good/different workout.

I also talked to a girl at tri last night who did Ironman Canada this summer. She didnt seem to be too thrilled about the whole thing. She said she walked the marathon, due to a previous injury. She said she was glad she finished, but didnt seem to have any fun.
As hard as the race is, I would like to come away from it having had fun. It really made that clear to me when I was talking to her, especially since she is my age.

I worked on my halloween costume today...and it is totally awesome!
