We had some big thunderstorms roll through last night but luckily they finished up around 7 this morning so I was able to get outside and run.  It was a good morning around 60 and the winds were still blowing good.  I felt good this morning but just ran along easy. I've had a couple of weeks since the marathon and seemed to be recovered.  Next week I will gradually shift back into the training mode.  I think I am going to work on trying to run a good 10k this summer and then gear back up for a fall marathon.  I am going to run a half marathon next week but I am just going to run with a friend who is going for a PR and we will probably be around 1:38.  That will make it a good training run.  After that I need to find some shorter races and work on my speed some.
