A mauling by Easy Tiger

Forgot to mention my shoes from http://www.footrx.com turned up yesterday morning, a pair of Asics DS Trainers (white with very cool metallic red trim) and Magic Racers (sadly, no longer flourescent yellow). 13 days turnaround from ordering, including a two day delay as they didn't have Magic Racers in my size. Impressive, especially for the price I paid ($234.70) .

Fronted up at Easy Tigers for another massage, and took a fairly solid beating for an hour and a half this morning. Main issues at the moment:
- the iliacus tendon, which comes into play over hills. Seems to have angered by Sunday's River Road run
- inside of the arch right foot. Seem to have an imbalance here and have been told to massage the inside of the foot and lower leg to get the muscles to release, plus some one legged squats to rebalance the muscle strength
- a tightness on the outside of the left calf, doubtless a compensatory thing stemming from the iliacus issue. This is pretty sore pottering around the office this morning.

There was some tightness in the lower hamstrings where they plug in at the back of the knee.

On the plus side, the hips were pretty decent.
