On the Mend

My legs were pretty thrashed after the marathon so the past two weeks have been focused on recovery. Probably another week of light mileage before I ramp it up slightly for the turkey trot and then onto marathon base building for Boston.

While my legs are slowly healing I am wiped out today. Too many late nights and early mornings last week. I am ready for some mental relaxation this week as well as physical.

Monday-Walked 2 miles
Tuesday-Jogged 1 mile and walked 2 miles
Wednesday-Massage
Thursday-Vinyasa Yoga
Friday-Rest
Saturday-2 miles slow (calfs were very angry)
Sunday-6 miles slow (shins were very angry)

Monday October 26th through November 1st-32 miles

Tuesday-8 miles with a track workout (8*400 and 1600 at end, all under 1:30 and mile in 6:15)

I LOVE the comment about the shins and calves being very angry...I get that right away.

Also, I thought that was a really cool picture of all the local runner girls on halloween.

It occurred to me when I read the results of the Inland Trail Marathon from this weekend, that if you ran that, you would surely win it.
