Day 81 - I am so sore!!!

I had intended to skip writing the blog today as there is nothing different from what NB has put down.
But got off the couch and realised how difficult it was. In my 80 days of marathon preparation, I have never been so sore. The only reason I can think of is that I didnt stretch after the long run (if it was a long run!) yesterday. I felt a little sore yesterday but I thought it would go away after the walk today, but no, it has got worse, I can hardly walk and switching positions is a pain :(
I was planning to take a rest day on tuesday, but the way things look, I may have to do that tomorrow. Awwww, legs hurt!!!!
