Recovery

I'm not sure if it was the post race ice bath or walking around alot Sunday and Monday or some combination, but the recovery for this marathon so far has gone much smoother than my previous two. I also had a deep tissue massage 32 hours after which seemed to help somewhat. It's always a good thing to not have surgery involved in the week after your marathon!

I ran a little over 4 miles last night. It was my first run since Sunday. I started out really slow and felt great so I ran a couple of miles quicker than marathon pace. I finished running the last 2 miles somewhere between the 2 previous paces.

I plan on running 8-10 miles tomorrow morning at around a 9 minute pace. Next week I hope to jump back into my marathon training as Houston is now 13 weeks away. I still prefer the half distance to the full but plan on running the full in Houston to attempt to qualify for Boston once again.
