31F.  8:22 AP.  Well, it's been 10 days so I jogged around for a few miles this morning.  Kinda nice to skip the achy, tired-leg runs after a marathon.  Felt pretty decent, although I was out of breath after about 3 steps.  That feeling will go away in a couple weeks, though.

I managed to gain 5 or 6 pounds, which I'm pretty impressed with.  It's usually hard for me to gain weight, but I was able to accomplish it by not doing any exercise whatsoever and eating greasy foods almost exclusively.  If I had anything healthy in the last 10 days, I don't remember it.  Anyway, it's time to start reversing the trend again.

48F, 7:52 AP.  Basically a repeat of yesterday, but with some fog.  Looking forward to getting my legs back.

58F, S 16-21 mph.  8:02 AP.  Nothin much to say about this one.  Stare-down with a cow (he won) but that's about it.  Here is my crazy mileage plan for Boston (subject to some probable tweaks - I posted a training review request in the discussion forums).  I'll either get really fast, or die trying.
