Well instead of spending an ungodly amount of money to revenge my marathon attempt I decided to stick with the original plan of slothdom post marathon. Typically I jump right back into things so I figured after a pretty steady 2 years it was time for a few weeks of just doing whatever the heck I wanted. Turns out when left to my own devices and with no plan, that pretty much means being a lazy bum!
I'll slowly be getting back into the swing of things this month. I apparently injured my calf at some point between the marathon and now because it was thrashed after the turkey trot and had felt a little off on the Appalachian trail. It is getting better, but not 100%, so I'll have to be a bit more cautious ramping things up again. Nothing big on the horizon other than Boston so if I have to take time to heal, this is as good of a time as any.

Wii DOES NOT count as exercise.

Good to see you getting back out there...and go easy with that calf muscle.
I don't know, I did a bunch of pushups, situps, leg lifts, and yoga poses. I was actually sore the next day!
Plus I found the way it tracked your balance during all of the exercises fascinating. I shake a lot! And I was better at most of the exercises on one leg than the other which obviously means I need to work on evening things out!
Hope the calf feels better soon.
The Sloth Weeks sound like fun...Wii!!!! When I read the title, I pictured you laying on the couch in pajamas, under a blanket, eating salt and vinegar chips out of the bag, sipping a beer.
I am looking into the crossfit workouts too. Don';t know if I'll go there, but I might.
