I went up to Chicago in October 2008 to do the marathon, then headed to the east coast for a vacation with the wife. I was pretty sore after the race. A few days after the race I made an appointment with Julia, owner of Core 3 in Portland. She’s an athlete herself, so she definitely«gets it» as far as what athletes are looking for. She did a great job loosening up my legs, in fact the next day I went hiking in the white mountains and pretty much felt fine. I’ve had longer recoveries from ½ marathons before. Very friendly, nice clean and relaxing massage area. If she were in Maui, she would be my therapist for sure. Highly recommend.
