Ok, I spent 20 min writing a race report and lost it, so yeah, maybe i'll try again in sections tomorrow.  Its late.

Not sore, legs just feel like they have been used a lot after the trail marathon.  Almost like I need my ligaments to heal whereas my muscles are fine.  Cardiovascularly ok, but obviously need at least a week before i'll be 100% again.

Feel about 85-90% now.  Almost wanted to do a tempo today.  If I study efficiently enough I will do one tomorrow at the local 5 mile race series.  Its unlikely.  I have my last exam of my first year of med school friday morning.

Very slow with a friend.  Felt good and relaxing.  Matt did the tempo workout but I don't think it was a good idea just 4 days after the trail marathon.  I am sticking to my plan.

Continued my trip to nashville and stopped in virginia (will look it up later) at this awesome state park with a 40 mile gravel/dirt path. Went faster than planned despite the heat.
