The In-Between

Apparently, running a marathon and writing a recap about it sapped my energy so much that I’ve neglected to write here for two weeks. I think I did need some time off in more ways than one, so no regrets. I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things. I have another race recap to post (my Thanksgiving Day turkey trot!) but I felt like I needed a refresher post first – what I’ve been doing since the marathon and how I’m bridging the gap to my next one.

Shall we go with section headers? I like those.

Riding High

I’m back, baby!

After seven excruciating, black-cloud-hovering days of not running, this morning, I ran. My plan was to do an easy 3 miles and see how it went. I wouldn’t push the pace, but instead take it slower than I normally do.

Recovery Road

Ah, the post-race recovery runs.

I enjoy recovery runs. Even if I’m still sore, which I definitely was yesterday morning and even a bit this morning. Yesterday’s 3.1 miles and this morning’s 4.3 were both easy, no pressure, no expectations, no speed, easy peasy fun runs. My legs actually felt better after both of them.
