I just came across the following article on AOL Health regarding marathon running being linked to heart damage. At first, I thought it was justification for my decision to not run marathons anymore.....sticking to the 1/2 distance instead. However, reading the article, they refer to the 3 men that died in Detroit in October 2009. I believe these 3 men were all running the 1/2 marathon; I wish the article were more clear on exactly how much training is considered too much. This is a new study and much more research is required.
My body has recovered quite well from the weekend. I got in a quick 3 mile Flintridge hill run Monday evening and hope to get out for a run before the rain around lunchtime today. It's nice to be able to train again!
