Feeling back to "normal" by the end of this week....3 full weeks since the race. Looking forward to adding a workout next week and a "proper" long run.
Not a lot to report on this week. Still recovering from the race.....easy runs - little bit of a workout on Wednesday by running on some hills on the dirt roads around my house.
I'm feeling a LOT better after 3 weeks post marathon, much better than I did last week.
Still taking it very easy, and legs are still beat up a little bit. But, I'm feeling better - slowly but surely- and no injuries to report - so all is well.
Saturday was a pretty good run. 10 miles around my pre-race LR pace picking it up a little the last 2 miles. Finally feeling like the recovery is complete.
Hoping for a good workout next week and continuing to add on mileage.
Side note: I changed offices this week, my new location means a slightly longer commute but a gym upgrade and closer to WOD, which sorta makes up for the extra 5 minutes in the car.

Weekly Mileage: 34

Daily Work:
- Monday: OFF. Ran 7 miles yesterday (my longest post-race), took the day off to see how I recover. Seems okay....
- Tuesday: 45' Easy on WOD. For my easy runs, I use "time" and not "distance". This way, the pace is a "result" of how I felt that day. Today my pace ended up at 7:45, which is about the fastest end of my "easy" range. Tells me, I'm recovering well. Ended up with 5.9 miles. Light core work.
- Wednesday: 55' (not so) Easy on a hilly route around my house. First kind of effort in any way. Think it felt okay. 7.1 mi / 7:55 pace. Hip mobility work / rolling and stretching.
- Thursday: 40' E on WOD. 5 miles / 8:00 pace. Strength work. Roll and stretch
- Friday: 48' E w/strides on WOD. 6.1 mi / 7:50 pace. Core. Roll and stretch.
- Saturday - 10 mi. on C and O. Best run yet during this recovery thing. My paces are close to what they were during the marathon build up long runs. First 8 miles averaged about 7:30, then the last 2 were 6:50; and 7:00. Hip strength, upper body strength, and ITB rehab.
- Sunday: off. Strolling around with the wife.
