30 minutes easy on the stationary bike for a little active recovery.  Legs feel really good.

This is next part is so I can refer back in the future as I continue my discovery of what I can do on low carbs.  I don't think I really bonked at all in the race but the last 6 miles were tough.  Not sure if it was the heat, having been sick the previous 2 weeks, the mild calf injury I had to deal with the last 8 weeks before the race, or if my nutrition had something to do with it.

Anyways, here is what I ate previous to and during the marathon:

Friday

Breakfast- 4 eggs, sauteed spinach, avacado, parmesan cheese

Lunch- 2 large bowls of chicken and vegtable soup

Snack- 2 Lara bars

Dinner- 6 oz steak, 12 grilled shrip, small salad without crutons, brocolli

Saturday

Prerace- A glass of unsweetened almond milk with 2 tablespoons coconut oil

During race- 3 gels and a lot of water

I meant to take a 4th gel around mile 21 but I forgot.

30 minutes stationary bike pushing the pace harder today.

Legs feel 100% recovered

15 minutes on this ladder climbing machine thing that I have never done, but it kicked my butt and was kinda fun.

15 minutes arc trainer

I'm getting some kind of chest cold. I never get sick, but this is my second sickness in the last 3 weeks. Good thing the marathon was right in between the two. Also nice that I am planning on no running this week for a good solid recovery anyways.

30 really eays slow minutes on stationary bike.  This cold is kicking my butt. I'm so tired.

I'm losing the battle against this sickness.  I was up all night sweating then freezing then sweating again and aching all over.  I even cancelled my early morning seminary class today for the first time in the 3 years I've been teaching it.  I still gotta work though, so I loaded up on meds and I here doing my best.
