Woke up this morning pretty sore and stiff. I took about a 1 mile walk and that seemed to help loosen the legs up some and reduce the soreness. This is probably the most sore I have been since my first marathon and I was not really ready for that one. My left calf is really sore because that is the one that totally cramped up in the race. Both thighs are more sore than I remember for a marathon which is probably from the downhills.
I was looking back on the training and numbers never lie. I went into this marathon running around 30 to 40 less per month in the 3 months prior than I did for the Huntsville PR. Probably more significantly is that the number of MP and tempo miles was much much lower. I am definitely going to have to get that back on track if I am going to run another marathon. |
