Easy six miles this morning at 7:25 pace. I feel absolutely fantastic 48 hours post marathon. In fact, I felt great yesterday and could have easily done 5-6 miles. I attribute the quicker recovery mostly to being stronger going in. I'm a big believer in my new found religion of stretching and doing core exercises. I have a long way to go but I've gotten a big whiff of how important it is.
Next race is probably a local 10k in two weeks. I may opt for the 5k but would like to smash my 10k PR of 33:03. I've never run a 5k though so I'm thinking I might do that instead. I'm also considering running the Grandma's Half Marathon in Duluth in three weeks. That might be pushing it a bit but I would like to get in one flat and fast half this year and those don't exist in Washington. |
