I didn't run for 7 days following the 50 mile race. I walked, biked, and did strength exercises. 

I decided to make my first run a 7.55 mile trail race at Kickapoo. My thighs were about 75% recovered, had some lingering deep muscle soreness. 

I ran a moderate 8:00 pace the first 3 or 4 miles, then went a litle faster to end the race. Not too bad a result considering what I put myself through the week before.

Thanks, JD.

Congratulations on your PR for the marathon! A great effort, a road marathon is one of the toughest races, I can't get myself to even think about running one of those. Keep up the great training...!
