I always thank my legs and feet after a run!

As part of my post run shower ritual I rub body lotion into my tired legs and thank each muscle for their hard work. I don't suppose it helps but I'll do anything to prevent injury!

I've been prompted to reveal this secret because of the occasional post I've read about people's aches and pains.

Is there anyone else out there as nutty as me?

i always thank my body / legs for carrying me as far as it does after and during a run too , so i must also be quite nutty !! xx ... injury wise i have shin splints ad have only run 6 miles in about 3 weeks as having to rest so maybe ill pay extra special thanking attention to my shins from now on !

I'm sure it will help! Hope your shins feel like running again very soon.

Haha I might try that as I've been on the IC loads ☹️ I do moisturise but don't talk to my legs. I talk to my plants though and they look fabulous so there might be something in this.......

Well there's nowt as queer as folk.....

I suppose it's the same kind of logic that has footballers wearing their 'lucky pants'
