1 hour on the spinning bike while catching up on all the recorded tv that I missed while in St. George.  It felt good to get some blood pumping through my legs.  Feeling better every day.  I can almost go down the stairs without taking them one at a time.  At least I don't have to go down backwards.  

I've spent lots of mental energy trying to figure out what I want to do next.  I definitely want to do a sea level marathon next fall, but what inbetween?  The only for sure race on the schedule is the prestigious Cottonwood Heights Turkey Trot.  I'm playing with the idea of going to the US Half Marathon Championships in January,  (see, I think I'm all awesome and stuff, now!)  or possibly the Phoenix Half Marathon on March 1.  I kind of want to take advantage of my fitness to pop some decent times out.   Hmmm.  So many decisions.

Zumba!  I pretty much took this whole week off,since I don't feel the need to recover quickly.  It was nice getting to sleep in and have time to get some other things done, as well as do some of my favorite cross training activities.  Plus, Teren was out of town most of the week, so it was definitely a great time for some down time.

I felt like trying a run this morning.  Walking after a marathon is a different story than running after a marathon.  I ran 4 miles in a blazing 8:17 average.  It hurt!  My quads are good, but my hips are so tight and sore.  It felt like my legs couldn't fire. Still, it felt good to get out and run.  There is definitely more recovery ahead.

I think if Pregnant Emily raced Post-Marathon Emily, Pregnant Emily would win.
