Half Marathon in One Month: 21.5km - The Aftermath

Here are my immediate post run physical burdens:
- blisters on the toes of both feet
- one stubbed toe
- very stiff knees
- sore quads and calfs
- sensitive nipples

I took a bath after my run.  Whilst in my bath, I enjoyed a meat and cheese sandwich and a large glass of chocolate milk (a recommendation from a fellow athlete).  

Today, walking is somewhat difficult and downstairs is more than a chore.  My trapezoids are sore (probably from the backpack I carried) and the lower right part of my back is also sore.  However, an easy swim this morning was not a problem.  I think I'll be running again in the next few days.

I don't know how I'm going to solve my nipple chafing problem... but I will look into it.
