I have to consider myself fully recovered now, as today I was able to complete the full South Farms loop. After the run I stopped inside Jimmy John's to pick up a sandwich for the 1.3 mile walk home. Since I won't allow myself to eat a JJ if I do not run at least 12 miles, this food was 3 months coming! :) About mile 9 I looked up into the blue sky and saw a large sundog - I was just beginning the difficult part of the loop, but the sundog made me feel as if fate was smiling upon me for a day, and I felt a burst of energy which lasted until the end of the run. Hurray for sundogs! My quads have some accumulated fatigue from the past couple weeks of running, and today's run surely won't help. I guess I will need to take it easy for 3 or 4 days until the soreness subsides - it is better than a sore knee!
