I thought I should log today just to have a record of my marathon recovery.
Sunday I was pretty sore, Monday a little better, and of course every day it's a little better. I actually think I could run today, but am not going to because I've read that after a marathon there is lots of damage done that you need at least a good week to recover from. So I'm trying to keep from running for at least a week. I have been walking every day with my dog. That is always enjoyable. I'm going to count that as one mile just so I get off the zero thing.
One other note on the St. George marathon: I noticed my age grade was 76.6%. The overall women's winner was age graded at 82.4%, so I'm not too terribly far off that (or maybe I am, maybe each percent means a lot, I don't know). When you get to be my age I think the age grade thing becomes your favorite statistic. |
