When I got off the marathon bus on Saturday at 4:30 a.m. or so, the full moon was so huge and bright , and the stars so intense and sparkly over that line of bon fires, that I had a strong desire to start running down the road before the start time just to be running under that moon light.  Today I left the house early, and there was that moon, only slighly diminished since Saturday.  It was such a delicious feeling to run down my country road under that moon shining its bluish light over the fields.  It was bright enough, I could see the cattle dotting the yellow grass, and mist rising off the marsh.  I noticed my quads are still sore, but overall I feel good. I'm particularly pleased that my lower back, sciatic nerve, and piriformis are feeling well.  I credit the rigorous stretching, strengthening exersizes, and deep tissue massage prior to and post race.  It was wonderful to get out this morning, even if it was for just a few miles.  I walked on Sunday and again yesterday-- but sitting at my desk all day yesterday was a killer.  It felt wonderful to get out of bed and feel almost 100%-- the stairs, no longer mock me!
