Great South Run
Ran the Great South Run today. I am NOT a runner, and haven't run for about 2 years. At all. Understandably, my legs are a bit sore now. Got soaked as well - definitely the most miserable run I've ever done (in terms of conditions - squelchy shoes never much fun, especially with 9.5 miles still to go)
5'11", 50 - older, slower, greyer, fatter (and needs to update the sig times too)

Only 10 miles. (Only???)
Was easy from the fitness point of view, but painful from the 'legs don't know what's hit them' point of view.
Today I am in SOME pain. Can hardly walk, despite lots of painkillers. My legs are both swollen up by about an inch round the thighs (look like someone else's legs - weird!), I've probably shredded about 25% of the muscle fibres in them, and I'm quarter of a stone heavier with the amount of swelling. Ouch ouch ouch.
Serves me right for not training though. No pain, no gain, so this must be SERIOUSLY good for me, when I can walk again.
Was out at lunch time, and got overtaken by a little old lady...

Especially when that's 20 times further than I've run at all in the last 2 years.
Also forgot to mention I also suffered with a bad case of jogger's nipple (well both of them actually), which I just 'reminded' myself of while doing the R word tonight. Ouch ouch!
