Personal:

I'm married to Nan Kennard and she kicks my butt at running. She has beat me handily in every race we have done together except for a downhill mile we did once. She is my running inspiration. I'd like to run a marathon with her someday and actually keep up.

no running today...got a good short massage on my left leg mostly.

I'm glad I have plenty of time and no rush to fully recover from Moab, because I obviously need it. I never felt any pain in the race...but its obvious that the 34 miles of steady effort taxed my left glut/hamstring, and upper left calf. So I will just take it really easy this next week, and get a couple good ART sessions in, and do very light active recovery.

Its annoying to have tight/painful spots...but the timing is as good as it could possibly be if I have to have them.

Are you OOC (out of commission)?

unfortunately, it looks kind of like that. I ran 1 mile this week so far, and my left leg started hurting. so i'm taking some more days off. I'll give it a shot tomorrow for a short one to see how the recovery is coming along.
