I was slightly stiff most of the day from yesterdays run. I guess maybe I pushed those last few miles a little too hard. Maybe I better take it easy the rest of the week and just focus on healing myself.

Today I did an easy 5 miles. I started out pretty stiff. By about 1.5 I was loose and then stiffened up a little from 4 to 5.

I can't wait to get back into my regular routine.

This week shows you probably need another week of 5-8 miles a day of jogging. As I mentioned in Clyde's blog, post-marathon damage can be very subtle and hangs around for as long as two months. An easy run at 8:00 pace or slower is just fine when you feel tired. Skipping a workout totally or cutting the miles below what you need to keep a solid aerbic base is not.
