Another run, another shower. 3 on the TM @ 8:53 AP. No soreness detected this time - really thankful to have made it through the race uninjured. Gonna be stuck with the TM tomorrow as well, but I think a lot of the snow and ice will melt on Saturday afternoon. The roads are still like ice rinks right now.

Yeah! Sounds like a successful run and recovery! Your legs will be back in business in no time.

Hope it all melts quickly. Glad you worked up the determination to shower.

Recovering very quickly. Like your new picture.

April - excited to get back to training for the next one.

Tracy - when you put your mind to it, anything is possible.

Thanks Flat, Danielle took it in the last tenth of a mile...I like the look of agony and pain.

I'm glad you are already forgetting the agony enough to want to do another one! In mile 24 I always think about what a dumb idea marathoning is. :)
