Still in post-marathon rest mode. Legs feel pretty good. My back has been a little achy, which I attribute to hotel beds and too much time in airplanes, but it's better today too. Went to MAFC after work and did 30 minutes on the recumbent, maintaining a cadence of 90+. It said I rode 7+ miles; not sure what that means, but the ride went well and I worked up a bit of a sweat. Then finally got in the now-repaired whirlpool.

Have a running date Friday morning, probably, with Kelly at Creekmore, time to be determined. Not gonna get the hopes up too much, but we'll see how things go. Then after I get back from Bama, start training again, and then begin a nine-week cycle the next weekend.

Met Kelly at Creekmore Park for three laps, then did three more laps on my own after she left. Hip flexors are still a bit stiff and sore. We'll see if today loosens them any. Enjoyed the run with KK. Won't be anything other than running outings for a while, but that's OK for the time being.
