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.

| Weather - 58 degrees, sunny. My legs are very sore, so I ran easy and short today. After the run I did some upper body exercises, at least that part of my body feels normal. They posted the results of the race today. I discovered that I placed 14 out of 66 runners. I am surprised I placed that high. Rachel asked me yesterday how I thought I placed, and I guessed 25 out of 50. I made a lot of mistakes out there, I think I could have run 30 minutes faster if I knew how to use my time better. But it was my first ultra, so I will hopefully learn as I gain more experience. #339

Weather - 58 degrees, clear. Legs felt better today, still sore, but flexibility much improved. Running subsequently was easier, I was able to extend my legs and run at 8:00 pace for about 800m. After the run did 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. #340

| Weather - 53 degrees, sunny. My legs are making a nice day by day recovery, I'm surprised how quickly my energy for running has returned. Just an easy 3 miles, then 5 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. #341

| Weather - 58 degrees, cloudy. Legs still on the mend, but I had a minor setback. Upon arrival at the arboretum I was feeling good and my pace unconsciously picked up. My left thigh rejected this small bit of speed and I felt a bit of spasm in the muscle. I immediately slowed and it allowed me to continue running. Later in the day I felt a bit of swelling in the left thigh, so I have to make sure to run slow for the next few days to let everything fully heal. Walked 30 minutes home after the run. #342

Weather - 53 degrees, clear. Ran 1.75 miles to the arboretum, then 1 grass loop barefoot. Legs are feeling better each day. My right leg is about 85%, but my left leg is still trying to recover from the thigh spasm 2 days ago. It did not cause me any problems today, but I could feel it when I was doing my strength exercises. It does not matter how long it takes for me to recover, I am happy to have no serious injuries, and I am looking forward to easy running in the coming weeks. After the run 3 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. I noticed I ran only 17.50 miles this week. That is the lowest amount in a long time, I guess it fits with the current plan - taking it easy....
