Sports Massage

There it was on the training program ... Monday: Go for a massage if possible.

Sure, I'd go for a sports massage, and what better place than the Singapore Sports Center instead of the usual spa I go to. I had in mind a relaxing hour with calming music and the aroma from essential oils.

Ha! It was an hour of pain that completely redefined sports massage for me. Never before were sports massages this painful. And those were after marathons when my muscles were tight and tired.

Talking to a few people after Monday's session made me realize that this was the REAL sports massage. Silly me. Surprisingly, my legs felt a whole lot fresher that very evening.

No pain, no gain. This is a new perspective.

And I signed up for a package too.
