A slow start to July, I took a nice five-day rest after the marathon. I really only needed three and my legs were feeling fine by Tuesday, but I rode my bike a few days and just waited until today to get back at it. 

It's still beautiful outside and great for running, so I was itching to return. Five miles on the Warren Ave-Manette Bridge loop, then down Shore Drive and back up the refurbished Manette trail. At two miles I felt a little residual fatigue left over in my legs, but it went away and I relaxed throughout. Really felt healthy and my legs are strong. The trail was recently rebuilt by a bunch of people in my neighborhood (instead of helping, I was always doing my Saturday long runs), and they built a watering station so whoever uses it can water the plants. No one had done so since Wednesday, so I stopped (it's about the 4.5 mile mark) and did some watering. Then wrapped up the run home. 37:56

Six with Mike down on Beach Drive, we were the only Slugs who showed up. No watch, but we ran a decent pace for two guys who marathoned just a week earlier. Legs are feeling great now, and back to normal. Our last mile was 6:53. Perfect morning for a run, turned into a really warm day, after we got done we went to Mike's house and had breakfast, then went waterskiing and crabbing with his family. Today, the run is the least exciting thing I'm blogging about. 

Later this afternoon the Seattle Rock 'N Roll marathon was on TV. Paul gets a lot of airtime in the first five minutes behind the leaders, and then they show him cross the finish line. (And even mispelled his last name.)
