Went to Spin class last night and pedaled real easy just to flush the legs out & get the blood flowing through them ... felt good & it helped.

Ran 6 miles with a friend this morning at Suwanee Greenway, 9:00 AP, couple mile around 8:30, with a few walk breaks sprinkled in.  Legs felt good, actually better than they did at Mile 5 in my marathon, so I guess that is a good sign for my recovery.

9 @ 8:45.  Felt good, not ready to run fast, but recovery going well.  Spin class tonight.

After 30 min all out effort on bike, decided to get on treadmill to recover!  Did 2 mile progression, faster every tenth of a mile.  Started at 8:57, ended at 6:49 -felt good to turn legs over faster for a brief time.  Got back on bike for cool down song, then stretching. 

 Met a guy after class who is training for his first marathon in Feb, last fall he weighed 320 lbs & could not run a mile - pretty cool.  The Spin instructor introduced me, as she was his personal trainer last fall.  I gave him some advice, mainly on the importance of getting to the starting line uninjured ... he is already experiencing some PF issues.

Back to trails at Buford dam for a beautiful fall day, 6.2 easy hard hilly miles.  Those hills are hard even when you are moving slow ... 680' vert ... 1 hour.
