Nathan, Tom, and I ran the Lake View course at noon. The weather was beautiful. We only planned on about a 5K, but our sore legs (Nathan and me) weren't getting any worse so we went the whole 5.2 miles. We started out very slowly but unconsciously gradually picked up the pace. We ended up averaging 8:42/mi overall. This is quite a bit slower than we normally run it, but it felt great just to be able to run again. The only significant pain remaining is in my right calf, the same one that troubled me during the marathon on Saturday. I've been massaging it (and the rest of my sore leg muscles) with my stick, and they are improving quickly.
