I was so excited to run with Marcie today, I over did it. We do not get to run together very often so I have to take advantage of any opportunity that I get. We did an out and back and I thought that it was pretty flat but it ended up being uphill on the way out and down on the way back. I was so worried about my calf but it ended up being okay. My left leg gave me grief from mile 7 on and I ended up walking the mile 11 home...no need to push too hard today. My other sister in law worked on me after the marathon and she commented on how tight my left leg was compared to my right, but it has been my right that has given me so much trouble. Today I feel it though. The left leg is nice and tight, top to bottom. It was so nice to get back out and run, but seriously - why is winter already here!

Christi - Marcie is up in SLC this weekend for a wedding. I will be down for Thanksgiving though. We should try to get together.

Boy, it HAS been cold. I'm wanting to turn on the heater already.

Sorry about your tight leg. It is really common to get injured during the first week or two after a big race, so be careful!

Way to go on the longer run! Good job, but do take care of that leg!
