Post race follow-up:

I am still pretty impressed with myself for finishing this race. I learned an awful lot about myself and endurance during this event.

I agree with Craig - I am not a big gatorade fan anymore. S-Caps saved me when I couldn't stomach anything other than water.

The body can survive an awful long time running on just water.

I have one remaining blister under the toenail of my second toe on the left foot. I keep draining it, but it is painful to wear anything other than crocs that put pressure on it.

I had some stiffness on Saturday, but none really since then. The left knee twinges a little when I keep it bent for a long time, but resting it makes it feel much better.

I walked the dog for a half mile on Sunday and felt really tired. Yesterday we went 3/4 of a mile and I felt better. Hopefully, we can do 1-2 miles tonight.

Spoiled myself last night and got my hair cut and colored. I feel like a new person.

Two easy miles in the evening. Legs are feeling good. The one toe that is infected is still a little sore, but getting better.

Three miles this morning before heading into the office. Did a lot of stretching and rolling on my calves. They have been cramping in bed since the 50 mile race.

Plan to do some upper body and core work tonight and run another couple of miles to pick up mail at the Post Office.
