Met Paula and Renee for a post marathon hobble.  I am feeling much better than I did yesterday - sitting in a car for 4.5 hrs was not a good idea, even if we had 5 potty breaks (my girls have the worlds tiniest bladders).  I actually felt much better, but still to sore to run.  I tried but it was bad, bad, bad.  More hobbling to come this week.

Ran (hobbled) and walked with Paula this morning.  I decided I should dress like a runner and that might help, instead of a walker like yesterday.  I was still pretty sore but we alternated running and walking.  My quads ended up feeling really good, I just have the cramp in my right calf that I cannot get to go away.   Overall, I feel much better.

I scraped my calf again last night, it is much better,  but still not close to 100%.  I am going to take today off and maybe tomorrow as well.   I have been so surprised at the serious case of "Post Race Blues" that I have.  I am so happy with my race performance, but so lost without any thing to focus on right now.  Running is usually what helps when I feel sad, but no running.......

Happy Running!

Another day off.  My calf is feeling much better and I am hoping another day will get it back to 100%.  My attitude is improving as well, so despite the horrible weather today should be a better day!

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!
