I always feel it is ironic when we set a PR running 26.2 miles that we have to get back in shape...

From Tracy on Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 18:52:21 from 208.54.80.146

You're still in shape...

You guys appear to have the same weird weather as us. It's so hard to figure out how to dress. Unusual for late April.

Back in shape.... Funny stuff. Good to hear your legs want to do something!

Did you gain 20 pounds since the marathon? I agree, what's with the back in shape comment? :>

I like your sub 18 min 5k goal. Is that next on your list?

From SlowJoe on Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 07:20:04 from 155.219.241.10

Yeah I guess the "get in shape" thing is really just recovering from the marathon and the week off that followed. It won't take too long.

ACorn - yeah, i'd love to knock out the sub-18 goal before summer hits...not sure if I'll quite get there, but it's a big goal this year.
