Well, I feel a lot better but it's still a little ticklish walking up and down 4 floors of stairs to and from my place several times a day. And it takes me forever to walk to class. No running today. Just gonna rest the ol' pavement pounders.

Went running today! Yay! okay, it was a jog. 5 miles and I don't think I've ever run 5 miles that slow. Walked up the hills so I don't stress out my muscles and get injured. My legs are still shot. Absolutely no "umph" in them. They don't hurt...they are just blah. But it was good to finally get out and enjoy some great running weather. Oh, and I just found out today that I was 5th in my age division and they have a plaque for me that mi padres are going to pick up.

3 easy easy today. Legs are still dead tired but not as bad as yesterday. first 2 miles felt fine but the last one was a chore so I just jogged it. Ran up a hill and felt tired but not like I was gonna tweak anything so hopefully that's a good sign. It was cold today too. Had to wear a beanie and my new long sleeve SGM shirt. So how long does this recovery thing usually take anyway?

felt much better today. Still struggled up the hill to my place but other than that my legs seemed to have quite a bit of spring in them today. Still easy recovery pace.

About 10k super easy again today. Legs felt pretty good. I actually maintained effort (which wasn't much) up a hill today instead of pretty much walking and it didn't hurt. Still, not gonna push anything for awhile. I've got all the time in the world to rest up so I'm gonna. This is the longest I've gone since the race and I felt good. Legs are still sluggish and you can hear me coming a mile away because I clomp like a horse when running instead of being light and springy like usual. Oh well. I guess that's what happens when you do crazy things to your body like running marathons. haha.

Oh, and today we had our first snow. When I woke up at 10:15 (heavenly!) there was about an inch on the ground and coming down fast. But it cleared up and melted off. We are supposed to get more tomorrow and tonight. But it was FREEZING today! I am gonna die up here! Like it was as cold today as the coldest days in the middle of January back home...and it's only October! ugh.
