Weather - 32 degrees, cloudy, windy.

Was planning to resume my long distance training today, but I forgot that a race can sometimes take a few days to recover from.

My left thigh, above the lower quad, is sore, most likely from the hills and the faster than normal running pace. It should be cleared up in 2 or 3 days, so I will wait patiently until I can hit the South Farms road again - I miss the South Farms, and running long.

After the run I did 3 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 30 minute walk home.

I'm not surprised you need some recovery after your great race yesterday. Definitely take it easy for 2-3 days at least.

What are those leaning poles in the picture?

This is a cool photo-nice symmetry.

Thanks, JD.

Carolyn, this photo was made at the Urbana Fairgrounds, the 2 leaning poles are lights for the half mile oval horse track. I have always been struck by those two lights because of the way they lean. I finally made a photo of them.
