I did a 15 mile mt. bike ride this morning. It felt good. I was planning to take it easy but it felt good to ride some of it aggressive and felt I could have gone a lot farther. My calves don't feel much like running yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Ran 3.5 miles this morning at 8:42 pace. Everythings feeling pretty good. Could very slightly feel the hamstring but now that I have no pressure to push things to get ready for the marathon I think it will quickly heal the rest of the way.

Went for a 7 mile run this morning. It was 34 degrees and snowing calmly it was really nice. I even wore shorts. Everything felt quite recovered after the marathon. I could still feel something slight in my calves and hamstring. I wouldn't call it pain but just a slight reminder of what they did a week ago. I guess winter is about here. I was suprised how much higher my HR was on this mornings run. I don't know if it's because I pretty much took this week off from running and cycling or that I am still recovering from the marathon.

8:28 pace

Yesterday morning it was 19 degrees and I had to kick on the furnace for the first time this year.
