AM - 5.2 miles along the Charles River with Andrea. More of a jog than a run, but you get the picture. Some quick thoughts... -I am VERY sunburned. I have unreal singlet/sunglasses tan lines.
-My legs feel good. That's what happens when run slower than goal MP for the first 16 miles, and then your body shuts down and you run at long run pace for the last 10 miles.
-I do plan to actually take some days off this week to expedite recovery. I think its very important to run the day after the marathon, though. But I want to make sure I play this smart and I can be back running at a peak level again in time for Portland and the USA 1/2 Champs. I also think its very likely that I'll run Bolder Boulder now as well.
-My feet are 98% back to normal. Epsom salt works wonders. Seriously, that stuff is amazing. Its worth its weight in gold.
-Andrea gave my legs a massage got them loose and more flexible than they were even before the race.
-Pizza and ice cream are the ultimate recovery foods.
-I had fun yesterday... the Boston Marathon is awesome. I have another good story to share tomorrow, about how the race made a impact in my hometown in upstate NY. I'll save that for tomorrow, though... we're off to Saucony for the morning and then having some fun in Boston tonight.
