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...

Easy run at about 8:30 pace this morning. Nice and cool and missed the rain for the most part. Calves started cramping a bit in the first two miles and then loosened up a bit. Must still be some of the marathon in there...

Planning on getting back into it full on next week. James and I are gonna run a few mornings together so we can get some doubles in. Trying for at least 60 per week until June. Then I think I will do the UV Marathon and win $1000! Okay, I will be going for a 2:50 and if I get even a handshake at the end it will be more than Moab!
