2.5 mile brisk walk w/ dogs.

Recovery going very well.  Late yesterday afternoon my left knee suddenly got a bit sore, but I just ignored that as one of those things and it's gone today.  Some residual soreness in hamstrings but otherwise feeling great.  I am getting a touch cranky though....must be missing my endorphin fix.  Tomorrow might be a short and easy run day.  Then again, it might not be.  

It struck me yesterday that I just ran a marathon and an ultra within 16 day of each other (go back an additional 7 days for 23 total and I can add in a 20K).  Unless I'm mistaken, that qualifies me to join the Marathon Maniacs.  Now that's never been a goal, nor can I say that right now I'm particularly interested, but the thought that I met the qualification criteria is a bit.....unsettling.  Not to terribly long ago, I'd have considered the entire notion crazy.  Now it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

lol! "a bit unsettling." I qualified once, in 2006 when I was running marathons every month as training runs. In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't get the singlet. If you're not going to keep it up, no point in advertising it and having all the other maniacs rope you into their clique at races. Who needs all that socialization? ;)

But you know, you are still a maniac to us! In a good way.

My thoughts exactly on all counts. But it takes one to know one!
