I felt really good post marathon, best I've ever felt afterward. After a few days running last week I decided to take a week off and rest/recharge. I've always thought that such a thing was hard and not necessary. It turns out it's easy. There is a great purpose in a solid week of recovery and I feel like I can now really embrace what is to come. I'm going to ease in and have fun from here and see where the road/trails take me.
This morning with the crew was great. Matt, Mike, Reed, Zak, Chris and I ran the canyon early. The air was crisp and cold. It felt strange at first after so many days off. Soon enough the invigoration of breathing and reaching back and pushing off and the sound of foot falls and conversation took over. What a morning! The stars and moon were very bright at Bridal Veil and the leaves smelled great. I love teh smell of fall. I sped up into a couple surges on teh return but nothing too serious. I feel a little tired and fat :) haha. Excited to get back to it. 7:01
Time for a new garmin though, mine is fried. And some new shoes :).
I learned the definition of a word today :):
Butcher: to pass someone with authority
