Easy system check on the grass and dirt in light rain. Everything feels really good. I've done a lot of walking this week but decided to play it safe and wait until today to run. My piriformis is still a little sore but i can tell its healing so no worries.

This for me marks the start of trail season, and some weeks of no pressure fun while silently building strength.

I have never felt so satisfied after a race before. But.. :).. it seems the result has started a fire. I've been reflecting on it a lot this week. I'm going to pile the wood on it. I am going to do my best to be smart and stay healthy. I have lots of work to do. I'm going to get so much faster. Its going to be fun. It may not always be easy but I'm going to learn and adapt, learn and adapt. I'm looking forward to this new chapter. Thankful for every step...

Over here, across the pond, I can see the smoke signals - they're saying that you've only just started smashing up your PR's.

Love the attitude and can't wait to see how you go in Boston...

Smart move giving yourself a good break. Huge breakthrough this summer/fall - you've shattered some barriers and opened up a whole new realm for yourself.

If I can give you one bit of advice - its a LONG time b/w now and Boston. I started my buildup in January and was in tip top condition in Mid-March. So I think its a great idea to do some no pressure fun running for a while, silently getting stronger as you get ready to attack this marathon monster once again.
