Easy run to make sure everything is still working. Right hamstring a little more sore than expected. Experiencing typical soreness everywhere else.

Still taking it easy. I will probably go 2 weeks of just easy running to let my body and mind recover. Nothing is really sore right now but the legs do feel a little heavy. I say this after every marathon but after seeing the pictures I really am not happy with my running form.

Avg HR = 143

Woke up late and had too much work to get done so I opted for an extra day of recovery. Maybe I'll take the kids to the park tonight and run around while they play. I'm thinking of doing two-a-days starting later this year so I'll be able to get a feel for running in the evening.

Ended up taking the kids to the park and tried to get some running in while they played. Didn't work out as well as I had hoped because I had to stop to help them a few times. There is a short loop (0.30 miles) and long loop (0.43 miles) around the park. Alternated between the 2 so that I could be close to the play ground. I experimented with different paces to see how my heart rate reacted. Ran a little at 5:30/mile and heart rate was around 173. At 6:00/mile heart rate stayed below 160. Actually felt pretty comfortable at this pace. Finished the last 0.30 at 5:00/mile pace and heart rate got up to 181. Pace felt a little forced and not very smooth.

Avg HR = 160 (I'm estimating this because of all the stopping that I had to do)

Total Time = 29:00

Still feeling a little tired. Ran 6 miles at an easy pace then bumped it up to marathon pace for the last mile. HR was a bit high during the run which I attribute to the recovery from the marathon and I have allowed myself to indulge in a few sodas this week since racing season is over. I think that the added caffeine and sugar is driving the HR up a little.

Avg HR = 152

Total Time = 55:38

Felt very tired mentally. Ran a slighly hillier course to force myself to work a little harder. These weren't big hills, just a long, steady climb for the first 6 or 7 miles. Couldn't really get into the run until the last mile. Resting tomorrow should help me snap out of this funk.

Avg HR = 155

Total Time = 1:21:30

Higher HR and slower pace due to elevation increases.
