This morning I started running again. A week of easiness after the marathon was quite enough to give my legs and mind the break they needed. Being in BC over the weekend and lamenting that I had not brought my stuff to run, and not being able to run, made me really anxious to get back out there. So even though it was raining pretty steadily this morning I headed out and did the Ensign Elem loop. Mostly easy pace, but I did pick it up in a few sections to test my leg turnover. I still have that slightly heavy, uncoordinated feeling after the marathon, but not too bad. I have also gained a few pounds since the race, which I hope not to keep. You can't eat like you're running 80 miles a week when you're only running 15 mpw without getting a few too many calories.
