Hauling a baby up and down stairs post marathon is probably the hardest part of this recovery business! It's hard enough to drag my butt up and down, but when you have to be responsible for another 12 pound human in your arms and you have to use the hand rail...well, it's just worse! I am feeling a little more spry today. I actually walked off a curb and didn't have to stop and prepare myself for it first! Upstairs is near manageable, and downstairs is getting there. Walking to get the baby in the middle of the night for feedings wasn't as bad last night either. Went to the gym and did 45 min on the bike - 11.5 miles @ L5 resistance. Had a great chat with Kelli as well. I can't hardly believe how much about the race we can still re-hash and enjoy it! :) When she left I hit the TM for 30 minutes to finish out my day care time. Was able to start at about 2.5 mph today and could step on and off the TM without much thought. I think I finished up almost 2 miles total and I read while I walked, someday I might actually finish this book. I need to get back to a good diet - I'm rationalizing away all those calories I burned Saturday, WAY too quickly! :) Click HERE for the pics from the race. They're not all pretty, but hey...neither was the race! |
