I took a week off running, which was a good choice.  I felt like my body went into full on rebellion after the marathon.  I got sick, my skin broke out, and I wanted to sleep and eat.  A lot.   I'm glad I got a little break.

Nice to be back at it today.  Light run this morning.  I didn't feel too bad.  There's some hip soreness and lingering fatigue, but mostly it went pretty well.  7:39 average.

After running I went to the club for lift class.  I have long neglected my strength work.  It was nice adding some variety to my routine.  I will probably spend the next couple months adding in some cross training and lifting.  I like mixing it up.  

I will be sore tomorrow!

Sore from lifting.  But, otherwise the recovery is going well.   Much better than after St. George.  Downhill is hard to recover from.  My next big race is the Cottonwood Heights Thanksgiving Day 5k.  I like Thanksgiving races.  7:18 average.

A little latent soreness and sluggishness today.  Still, I managed a 7:01 last mile.  So, legs are slowly but surely coming back.  Maybe I can creep under 7 by the end of the week.  7:24 average.

8 spookydark miles. I managed a 6:57 and a 6:58 at the end. I am speedy!

Lift class. Same as Monday. Felt ten times more difficult.

Nice morning run with a pick up in the second half. Missed the first mile split because I hadn't picked up satellite. 7:27, 7:19, 7:13, 7:01, 6:49, 6:52, 6:46, 6:31, 6:40, 6:20. 6:54 average for ten. Felt pretty good to turn over a bit. I will start some fartlek workouts next week.
