Legs feel pretty good, but I think I will keep tomorrow as a recovery day as well, just to absorb the race and last week's training. If I feel ready for a midweek workout on Wednesday, I will do the scheduled workout, otherwise just maintenance runs.

I think my plan is to do Grand Rapids half in about three weeks. Not sure from there. I really need more time in a buildup for an ultra to do what I want, so I might try to get something on the calendar for mid-December, which is kind of risky for the time in the semester as well as for weather, but I don't know. I think I will continue with this buildup as practice and see how things go into early November and make a decision a bit later. I am enjoying the training, weight is dropping, and I am getting fitter, so I don't really see an issue. 

Got my COVID booster and flu shot today. So far no real side effects. If it hits me early tomorrow, then I guess the boys and I will be watching TV for the day.
