Woke up and did 3 on the new treadmill (well new to me, but pretty old). I got it from my brother. Sunday I drove down to Phoenix and helped him move Monday and Tuesday (yeah, after running a marathon).He did not want it anymore soI brought it home.

Pleased that I was not really sore at all Monday and pretty much gone by Tuesday but I made up my mind before the marathon to take Monday and Tuesday off. Planned on running Wednesday but ended up working too late!

Club run of 8.2 in the afternoon with the guys. Good run and easy pace. Felt good but had a little cramping in my right calf as we came down green springs a little faster. Went away by the time we got the stop lights though and feels fine now. Probably just post marathon aches...

That makes it nice to recover so well. Good plan to take the days off anyways.
