Weather - 60 degrees, sunny.
I returned the rental car, and somehow managed to run 3 easy miles back home. My legs felt as flexible as concrete, but they loosened up the further I ran along.
I was almost certain I had no injuries from yesterdays race, but would not be sure until I ran today. I am happy to say that all seems normal. The only ill effect is extreme muscle damage in my quads, which should be 100% recovered in 7 to 10 days.
So I have made it to the resting phase of my training without getting injured, that is probably my best accomplishment of the year. For the next 5-6 weeks all runs will be easy, no speedwork, and no racing.
In December I will begin to rebuild my base.
